I just preformed a 'chmod' command and permissions NOW look like this for the file:

located under: deb at deb-desktop /usr/lib/cups/filter $ 

-rwxrw-rw-  1 root deb  5.2K Nov 24  2005 brfaxfilter

command I entered was:

sudo chmod go-x  brfaxfilter

to remove execute.
 
rebooted the machine same thing still shows up in Cups.

ls -l of /usr/lib/cups/filter/brfaxfilter 

Looks like you have a sticky bit set and have it 'rwx' for all. It really only probably needs to be 'rw-' for owner and group, and then any user who is allowed to use it  should be in that group. There should be no need for a sticky bit to be set.

I can print documents properly as well as scan them using xsane. Test page printout work great! also 'full color'.

My issue is with the accompanied 'BRFAX' which I have installed also uses 'Cups' is as follows: 


When I click on 'BRFAX' inside 'Cups'
Reports an error:

The error is as follows: 'shown in Cups'
