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" Ante Karamatić also wrote: "This is how most of the services work (i.e. postfix, vsftpd, bind, apache...). 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. -- dapper cupsys can not print to rfc compliant lpd server, i.e. can not run as root https://launchpad.net/bugs/47773 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
