[apparmor] [Bug 908864] Re: My Lexmark x2650 printer stopped working after upgrading to 11.10: Idle - File "/usr/local/lexmark/lxk08/bin/printdriver" has insecure permissions (0100775/uid=0/gid=2).

@John Johansen:

I have tried all u suggested and the problem will indeed not be in
Apparmor. In ur suggestion #3 I pressed "e" on the bootloader screen,
then navigated to the bottom and added the line "apparmor=0". was that
the right way to do that?

@Christian Boltz:

>My first idea was to remove those options

I have a stupid question: where from should I remove those lines? e.g.
what is the path to that cups config file? my googling (as u suggested)
turned up some results, but nothing useful, all I have found was just
changing permissions for different folders to and fro... none of which
works.

it occurs to me that once when I tried out some tutorial the red exclamation mark on the printer's icon in system-config-printer vanished, but when I tried to print a test page it gave me another problem, something like "no connection to the printer"... maybe not important at all, because I don't know exactly what I did...

to be clear, I can't even finish the installation process of the driver,
after installing the driver's files, the installer prompts me to connect
the printer and press "next", but when I do so, it says the printer is
not connected and I can't get to the next step. but all the driver files
appear to be installed at that point, though.

Title:
  My Lexmark x2650 printer stopped working after upgrading to 11.10:
  Idle - File "/usr/local/lexmark/lxk08/bin/printdriver" has insecure
  permissions (0100775/uid=0/gid=2).

Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework:
  New
Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I used Ubuntu 9.04 for a long time and the driver available on the
  manufacturer's site:
  http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&id=DR860&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&segment=SUPPORT&productCode=LEXMARK_X2650&locale=EN&userlocale=EN_US&searchid=1324929199490
  worked perfectly! after installing the newest Ubuntu, I can't even
  finish the installation process of the driver, the Setup says "no
  connection", even though there is connection to the printer, because
  it appears in the list of printers when introduced to the USB.

  from what I have learnt on the web, recent changes in Cups and
  AppArmor caused that the connection to a printer with 3rd party driver
  is often blocked. but this is too high a game for me to solve here...

  have tried in another machine too, the same result, which means that
  THIS PRINTER JUST STOPPED WORKING IN LINUX at all. That is sad. I have
  to go back to older Ubuntu's just for the printer!!!!!!!!!

  This is insane.

  See my debugging results.
