Can not connect to port 631 on Pi 3 from any system on home lan

The title says it all. Some background.

The Pi3 is running current. I updated the May 1st updates on the 2nd, I did not boot the system until today. Today I installed the latest kernel, modules, firmware and hacks from Sarpi. After the install I booted the Pi.

I have had it installed for about 1 year, so lots of updates over that time. Printing had worked well over that year. The Pi runs headless, and I also run a NFS share from a USB attached 120 gig hard drive on the Pi.

I can ssh into the Pi, I can see the NFS shares on the pi, however, no longer can I send a print job to the USB attached HP printer.

A scan with zenmap shows port 631 closed. Just for giggles, I used nc to confirm port 631 is closed.

From the zenmap scan:

Code:https://wiki.alienbase.nl/doku.php?id=slackware%3acupsto set up /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. Here is the parts I changed, thinking this would fix the problem.

I have not changed anything else in the file. 631 remains closed after restarting cups, or a cold boot. I do not have a firewall running. I have never had one on the home lan. I do have a firewall in my router.

I would like to send a print job to the printer locally, just to verify the print driver ( hplip ) is good, it was before any of the updating.

Thoughts on what I'm missing?

I have thought I could remove the latest kernel, and put the system back to the previous kernel. I would much rather fix what is wrong with the latest updates.

The latest kernel I installed from Sarpi:
