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.
Correct
Lets get something straight. You "B.J" are using a machine to be a spooler for clients? 2 machines exactly? 2 machines acting as Spooler Servers? Correct? The main issue is Clients can not see (connect) to the machine because no open port.
- Can the spooler machine in question print locally?
- Whats the RPM version for cups

Sorry for the confusion. I am replacing a box that acts as a print server for a LAN consisting of 11 machines, all running centos 5.2, and occasionally a lappie or two thrown in. The new box is/was the machine I had the issue on. It now appears to be "solved" after I scp'd the config file over for the second time. Not sure what I clutzed up the first time but the config file was apparently the issue. Since I overwrote the offending config file I have no way of knowing what the difference was. Looking at the working config file it appears to me to be box stock, as was the non-working one.
Thanks much for all the help and my apologies for being a bit pig-headed about the config file.
Yea your a Pig Head because I wanted to see the original config file. Something had to be different. Next time use a tool called diff or zdiff. Ok I guess your not a Pig Head:-)
Yep, familiar with diff.
Just think you could have solved it today at 1:21PM EST! :-) Since it is working I have some huge PDFs that need printing. Where do I submit them?
Ha! I'm only the grunt here. Best I can do is send you a marker for a cool one.
OK, I don't forget...Good Luck
