The /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file on my machine has the following in it:
Listen localhost:631
I'm pretty sure this was the default, I don't recall having modified it.
This means that it is listening only on its loopback address, and any
remote machines wouldn't be able to print to it. I imagine your server
will be in the same state. To make it listen on external network
interfaces, you should either change this line to:
Listen *:631
or add another line like:
Listen your.ip.addr.ess:631
...and then restart cups.
Cheers,
Paul.
