HP software changes Print Center privileges? Regarding this software, Zach Schneirov writes: "I was not able to select my DesktJet 842c printer from the Print Center application; I would receive an 'unknown error -108' after attempting to do so. I discovered that the problem was with the file permissions on files within the Print Center.app package; the HP DeskJet installer apparently changed them. Specifically, the settings for the files Print Center and PrintingReset in /Applications/Utilities/Print\ Center.app/Contents/MacOS had been modified. Viewed in Terminal, they should be <-rwxr-sr-x 1 root daemon> for Print Center and < -r-sr-xr-- 1 root daemon> for PrintingReset." Note: We have no other confirmations as yet that the HP software caused any change here.
