OK, in summary.

1. I should set it to listen only on the local interface by setting

Listen 127.0.0.1:631

in the cupsd.conf file.

2. I should firewall off the port.  This part is already done, I just
don't like to have ports open.

So from what people have said, I guess there isn't a way to run cups and
close the port.  Is the open port essential to it's operation, like open
port 22 is essential to the operation of ssh?
