Hi. Since upgrade from fiesty to gutsy, I've been getting apparmor messages when I print. My printer is connected to an XP box, so I'm using samba.

After reading up on apparmor, and reviewing /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd, and noticing that there is a samba profile in the /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions directory, I tried adding the following line to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd, and it no longer generates messages when printing. I added it to the end of the #include section.

#include <abstractions/samba>

My thought is that it may be good to add samba to the apparmor cups profile on a go-forward basis to keep syslog noise down.

Hope that this is of some help.
