All the *_disable_trans booleans means that the service will
no transition from the selinux unconfined domain, to a restricted
selinux domain (in cups's case cupsd_t). So your system will not
be protected from this service if you set the *disable_trans.

I find that the advices sealert gives are quite often bad advice.
They will fix your problem, but you should really evaluate if you're
not opening up too much by following the advice. Here sealert is
suggesting turning off selinux-protection of cups..

This seems very strange.. All the labels above seems correct to me, but why
would cupsd need to access (/var/lib/rpm/) "__db.000" ??
