CUPS runs its own mini-http server, which (again by default, though you could change it) listens on port 631 on all interfaces.
If you are having problems connecting to the CUPS administration webpage at this point, it is likely that port 631 is closed. Just move opening the IPP port (which you have as point 5) to become point 1.b and this should solve it :-) -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
