Re: AVC when configuring printer.....

So these are all printconf pipes.
Printconf runs in unconfined_t, and printconf-backend runs in cupsd_config_t (not sure if they should be setup like that, I suspect this might have been done to restrict what can acccess the cupsd domains). It seems they need to communicate via pipes. Looking at the current policy, rules are already in place [ for targeted ] to allow reading unconfined pipes from cupsd_config_t, but no rules exist for writing data back to unconfined pipes (communication in the other direction).

Either printconf should be moved into cupsd_config_t too.... or cupsd_config_t should be allowed to write as well as read from unconfined pipes.

Trivial test of just 'applying' the existing config appears not to
break anything. So, this could be harmless....
That usually means we haven't found out what the problem is yet, and it's non-fatal (which doesn't necessarily mean harmless).
