David thanks for the great link and advice. I will reset world with command? 'chown root:root brfaxfilter' I will then 'chmod go+x' ???? Can you please recommend which area of the link you sent I should possibly follow? There are chmod 555 and 700 's etc making me confused. I will restart 'cups' using the command 'sudo service cups restart' Thanks alot for your help with this.

Anyone authorized to use the service should be in the same group as the service.

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.
