You can set CUPS to listen only on the loopback interface. Edit
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf, and replace the line "Port 631" with
"Listen 127.0.0.1:631". Also, if you're paranoid, set up a firewall
too. Even if you don't have any extra ports open right now, a firewall
can save you if you accidentally misconfigure something (or if a trojan
gets installed).
