Hi Johannes and others, Your analysis made a lot of sense to me and I have been trying to see where port 631 has been used:
I found that I had added port 631 to the firewall and the /etc/samba/smb.conf I eliminated both and tried to start cupsd ... the result is not clear: http://localhost:631/ goes howhere > west:/home/scn # cupsd > cupsd: Child exited with status 98! I am not sure what status 98 and child mean? I also tried to get the yast printer configuation tool to complete but it is still stalling in the `load current settings´ phase of the printer definition. Is there a command/function which will let me find out where/how port 631 is being used? I also feel, no proof, that the problem has to do with the interaction of samba3.0.9-2.6-suse and susepro9.1 because the printer-loss and yast-printer-definition stall occurred with both machines - each has a different printer. Both were in samba. Any thoughts? I look forward to resolving this problem.
