I see where there is another daemon on 631.  /var/log/cups/errors.log has the following "StartListening: Unable to bind socket for address 0-0:631.  Address already in use."  Also I see where /etc/services has the following.
ipp    631/tcp    # Internet printing protocol
ipp    631/udp

I am continuing to research this problem if you have any insight please pass it along.  Thanks for the responses.
