Printer install problem

I got the drivers for my HL1110 laser printer from the Brother site and converted them with rpm2tgz. After installing the packages my first problem was a "missing filter" error, and I discovered that the file brother_lpdwrapper_HL1110 was put into the /opt/brother/Printers/HL1110/cupswrapper/ folder with the ppd file when it was expected to be in /usr/lib/cups/filter/. So I moved the file and now when running system-config-printer I get the following status message:
The printer's state message is: 'File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_HL1110" has insecure permissions (0100755/uid=1000/gid=100.'.
How do I set the permissions so that the file is no longer insecure?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try:

Code: Select all

$chown root.root /usr/lib/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_HL1110
$/etc/rc.d/rc.cups restart
