I have a hp 1300 printer at the parallel port of grizzly. Local printing at grizzly works, remote printing from other systems does not work anymore, I see "The printer is busy" at the remote systems. In /var/log/cups/error_log at grizzly I find: ... I [29/Jan/2012:17:28:14 +0100] Listening to /var/run/cups/cups.sock (Domain) I [29/Jan/2012:17:28:14 +0100] Remote access is disabled.

After adding "Port 631" to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf remote printing works again.
No idea what exactly the problem was, sorry... but as it seems to be fixed...
