Same as your working version:

lightning ~ # cat /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | grep 631
# default IPP port of 631.  It changes users whenever an external
# Ports/addresses that we listen to.  The default port 631 is reserved
#    Port 631
#    Listen hostname:631
#    Listen 1.2.3.4:631
Port 631
#Port localhost:631
#BrowsePort 631
lightning ~ #


lightning ~ # lpq
lpq: Unable to contact server!
lightning ~ # /etc/init.d/cupsd start
 * Starting cupsd ...
   [ ok ]lightning ~ # lpq
lpq: Unable to contact server!
lightning ~ #

   I've seen this before, actually, when the Mac was turned off.
Linux/Gnome would only see the local CUPS server after it had seen the
remote server on the Mac.

   I'm thinking that the system (some part of it anyway) has cached
the fact that the Mac had a CUPS server somewhere. Now that the Mac is
gone it cannot move forward. I have no data to back up that idea
though and I have no idea how to prove it true or false...
