I think the first problem is we have somehow merged two threads. The
first was Mr. Wells issue which is different from mine. His port 631 is
"open" when nmap is run from localhost but not when run against the IP.
My port 631 is closed regardless of whether it is run from localhost or
remotely against the IP. My cupsd.conf works. An identical machine
co-located has an identical cupsd.conf and shares the same printer
nicely on the same LAN. The same nmap configuration run against that
machine shows port 631 open in both above cases. My conclusion, FWIW,
is that it is not a cups config issue but a port issue.
Also, the cups site link confirms that @LOCAL means local network which
is all I'm looking for. The laserjet 1300 has been supported for at
least a few years now.
Thanks,
