I'm confused. There is not anything wrong with this machine as a Server.
ALL of this muttering and bitching has been because bookworm clients did NOT
work. buster clients work great.

How many times do I have to say it is/was a CLIENT problem that only exists
for BOOKWORM clients.  The elephant in the room that most have ignored.

But you said that the problem was "solved" by modifying a setting
corresponding to the Listen directives (in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf).
These directives concern the *server* only.

Oh, then how does one tell the CLIENT to even use the SERVER? That statement, added to a created CLIENT.CONF, is not sufficient, Been tried many times. It does log a lack of auth, also reported here. Is that the real problem? The lack of any tracing info in the log, even at debug2 level reporting is a huge hindrance to intelligent trouble shooting.

I suspect that your problem was solved for another reason (e.g.
something else occurred on the network in the mean time, or some
config was reloaded at the right time, possibly as a consequence
of your testing). Or perhaps it is not solved at all and could
reappear in the future (that's why it would be interesting to
know the real cause of the problem).

copied new cup-master.zip to the bpi51
unpacked it to cups-master in ~/gene/src
./configure --with-tls=no, no show-stoppers.
make no-show stoppers
make test, failed for 2 functions
the report said at one place it got 34 errors but only expected 33
I didn't install

Back to the apple version installed, what fixed the bpi54 ddoes not fix the bpi51, so Vincent was right to be concerned

It is 100% a "cannot assign requested address error" on the bpi51 as logged in/var/log/cups/error_log:

E [12/May/2023:10:32:20 -0500] Unable to open listen socket for address 192.168.71.3:631 - Cannot assign requested address. E [12/May/2023:10:34:45 -0500] Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Cannot assign requested address.

Where its getting the ipv6 addy is a mystery

ip a:
gene@bpi51:~/src/cups-master$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

So, how can we proceed?

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
