Unable to open device "hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_*": Permission denied

My Brother-2030 printer denied printing for the last month and I couldn’t find redemption.
The IPP report message was:
Unable to open device "hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_":
Permission denied
But I figured it out. The final solution is easy:
sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/hal
I post this, because I’m not the only one having these kind of problems with HAL and a USB printer while using ubuntu (with 64 bit architecture).
Maybe this will help someone searching for a solution.
UDATE:
I updated the command with Jim Morris’ comment.

Thank you, this almost solved my problem, except I also had to chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/hal as well then it worked.
Thanks
You are a star! Thanks, been having issues for a couple of weeks (nb I had to use the path specified by Jim Morris).
THANK YOU !
Thank you very much.
You sir and Jim Morris^ made my day, thanks.
After ten hours looking for the solution and was here. Thank you very much!
Weeks of worry over. Cheers!!
Thanks to both of you. This has been vexing me for weeks – I was having this problem with Mepis 8; the printer had worked fine, then all of a sudden quit working.
FYI I needed to add the “…/hal” directory as well.
Lars and Jim,
Thanks a lot!!!
*wipes tears from her face*

I was sitting at my PC before work, SOBBING in frustration! OMFG, THANK YOU!
