Me too! Same symptoms. Additionally, I get the following audit report in /var/log/syslog every day, which I believe is related:

Jan 25 07:37:04 artoo kernel: [3141949.390618] audit(1201264624.231:82): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw" name="/dev/tty" pid=7571 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd"

I have two desktop users (on on console, one on a VNC server virtual desktop) and both get the daily "CUPS SERVER ERROR There was an error during cups operation: 'server-error-service-unavailable'" popup error message, and that is presumably why I get the syslog message twice daily.

I have not tried messing with permissions of /dev/tty, although that seems to be the culprit. Or is this SELinux profile related?

I'm willing to help debug.
