cups port problem.

[akonstam at trinity.edu]

I am loosing my cool on this so I need help.
This has to do with the ipp (cupsd) port 631.
On the server.
Running netstat -anp |grep 631
returns:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631               0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      24471/cupsd         
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:631                 0.0.0.0:* 24471/cupsd
-- 
Indicating that cupsd is listening on that port.
Running: nmap -sT -O localhost |grep 631
631/tcp   open  ipp
 And on the server I can telnet localhost 631 and it connects.

 However from a client when I run: nmap -sT -O sol |grep 631
 from a client (sol is  our server) the 631 entry does not appear and in
 fact when I telnet to the server at port 631 the connection is
 refused.

 One would hope that somewhere in the cupsd.conf there is a line that
 opens that port for access from other machines. Anyone know how to
 open that port or what that line is in the configuration file. 
 There is no firewall involved here.
