Done. Restarted the firewall.

Restarted the cups server :

cupsd: Child exited with status 98!
cups: restarted scheduler.
root@host:~# lpstat -v
system for hpoj: localhost
system for NetworkPrinter: localhost
system for all: localhost
Printer 'hpoj@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or
directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
Printer 'NetworkPrinter@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file
or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
Printer 'all@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol

NetworkPrinter is a printer class that contains hpoj (the printer of
interest).

I get the same error as before.

Oops.

งป telnet 192.168.1.1 631
Trying 192.168.1.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Thanks.
