Duane,

Thanks for answering... But I am not sure exactly what to make of your
answer. I entered the commands you gave me. Here, step by step, are the
results:

> 1.  Check to make sure cupsd is running:

> ps aux | grep cupsd

My Output:

[root at MYBOX root]# ipchains -L
ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel

[root at MYBOX root]# iptables -L

I hope I haven't embarrassed myself.

Can you make heads or tails of any of this?
