Joe,

Since there haven't been any answers on why CUPS cannot bind to port 631 
when nothing is running on their, you might as well can change the cups.conf 
file to run on port 80.  This is going against what I would ever want to 
recommend someone to do, because it will cause problems at some point.  

Anyone have any suggestions as to why CUPS won't bind to 631 in SuSE 9.1?
