Hi,
        I'm trying to get kups set up to recognize a network printer. My laptop is 
running M8 and the network is winNT. I have done much research through the 
archives, on the cups website and on the Mandrake site. I continue to get a 
'can't connect to cups server' when I try to scan the network. It appears 
that port 631 is not open. I did a nmap 127.0.0.1 and 631 is shown as closed. 
How do I go about 'opening' it up? I tried to set all my security settings to 
absolute minimum in Mandrake Control Panel. Still nothing. I see in my boot 
up that Bastille is started, so I wonder if it is blocking the ports?

        Anyway, I think if I (we) can solve this problem, then kups will probably 
pick up the network printer.

Any ideas?

Thanks and regards,
Bill W.
