I never figured out why inetd was failing to permit connections, but since I was pressed for time, I hooked up the printer to a linux laptop, iterated thru 3 kernel builds before I could successfully enable the parallel port, and got it working with xinetd. symptomatically, cups was always running but port 515 was not open: I suspected some malformed security config on my part, since inetd had been working before I switched to xinetd. well, as it turned out, it was xinetd blocking things: in the printer stanza in xinetd.conf, the user was set to lp and he didn't exist. I changed it to daemon and hey presto . . . . it worked. xinetd -d is a Good Thing but rather verbose. Thanks for getting back to me: if anyone involved in the maintenance of xinetd is on this list, perhaps a feature to spit out bad config data like that without debug would be a useful (I didn't see anything logged in messages, buit if it gets logged, please set me straight). As it was I got several screens of output and the error message I needed came out almost immediately. Thanks again. I'm reminded once more I should have started working with FreeBSD long ago . . . . .
