[cups.general] Cups start up woes.

[Paul Sattler]

Yes, port 631 is enabled.  I have discovered the redhat-config-printer-tui interface that has allowed me to at least add a printer.  I have issued a lp command to this printer and it indeed shows up in the queue(/var/spool/cups).  The lpadmin command works now that I have included the -h localhost parameter.

Is the IPP port (631) enabled?
