I'm sure he knows that. What he meant to say was that a start-stop daemon
solution should then also use a port above 1024 (instead of 631). Hence his
further hint saying
"You will also need to update the /etc/services file on every system that
wants to print with the new port number for the IPP service"

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be done with CUPS too."
It is obvious that you do not consider *all* the arguments that are in
play when discussing this topic, and that you are merely repeating the
same simple argument that *started* the discussion, long ago. If you are
really interested in the complete picture, please read up the full
discussions in the archives, and Mike's presentation on the Linux
Desktop Printing Architect's Summit.
