The packet in question is being sent to every machine on the 192.168.0/24 network. Port 631 is indeed the CUPS port. It looks like CUPS to CUPS communication. CUPS is probably looking to "discover" other printers on your network. > What should an OUTPUT rule look like to allow these packets to be sent? > Or is it a problem with my INPUT filters? Probably a problem with your INPUT filters. Is there any information in /var/log/secure? Something in your firewall rules is not allowing the packet to be accepted by vger. Is cupsd running on vger? Did you open up port 631 in your firewall on vger? (ISTR that it is closed by default.) -- Kevin J.
