[TriLUG] Inter-species printing problem

I just started CUPS and it works great!  I think I much prefer that over
the old lpd/redhat-config-printer tool.  One question though.  What
would be a good IPTable rule to poke out to allow CUPS to print to an
external printer?  For example, I'm configured to print to
socket://<IP>:9100.  With my current ruleset, I'm allow all outbound
connections, but doesn't CUPS connect locally to port 631?

Thanks,
Jeff
