That's essentially the same test that Beartooth already did when he 
typed "http://192.168.x.y:631/admin"; into Firefox. He was told that the 
connection failed. The next step is then to find out *why* the connection 
failed. To that end I asked him to check the two reasons I thought were most 
likey. By using the netstat command that you quoted we found out that Cups 
does indeed listen for requests from other machines, so that reason is now 
eliminated.

If we were to suspect that Firefox or Privoxy was misbehaving, then testing 
with Telnet instead would be valuable. Since the connection currently fails 
for Telnet too, there's no reason to suspect Firefox or Privoxy.
