You need to put an entry in /etc/services to allow the port to be recognized 
by xinetd.

lpd             631/tcp                         # lpd/CUPS port
lpd             631/udp                         # lpd/CUPS port

I think that only the tcp port really needs to be in there, but I got tired of 
messing with it and just put in both the tcp and udp defs.

HTH,
Ron
