It would connect to the same machine as localhost, but using your eth0 (or
equiv) interface instead of the loopback one.

tcp        0      0 localhost:ipp           *:*                     LISTEN

tcp6       0      0 localhost:ipp           [::]:*                  LISTEN

So cupsd is only listening on the loopback interface.  If you access
http://192.168.55.1:631/ from that same machine in Firefox or curl, I would
expect it to say connection refused.


   I added salmo to /etc/hosts as an alias to localhost:

I believe the cups/lpr client is looking up salmo.apply-ecosys.com, so you
might need to add the fully-qualified domain to 127.0.0.1 as well.  Having
it on the same line, or on multiple lines with the same address shouldn't
matter.
