How to disable ipp? It is not started via xinetd. It has something to do with printer I think.

Thanks

Is a service called cups running? (ps auxf | grep cups)

That is probably what has the port open just kill it off and disable/remove the service.

Yes, it is running:

tcp 0 0 localhost.domain:ipp *:* LISTEN 1526/cupsd


It looks like that is what is responsibile for IPP. But how do I disable/remove this service?

/sbin/service cups stop
chkconfig cups off

Doing that should kill the service and turn it off so it doesnt come back up on reboot. I guess you could rpm -e the package if thats installed but thats up to you.

[root@secure cups]# /sbin/service cupsd stop
cupsd: unrecognized service

/sbin/service cups stop
chkconfig cups off

Thanks, that worked! Suprised this hasn't been brought up in the forum before.

lol I knew it wasnt cupsd... whoops

well, I updated my post so anyone who finds it will get it right
