Yes.  This is correct.

in my case it's....  tail -n 300 -f /var/log/cups/error_log .... and 
it says...

Which says that the port is already bound to something else. So, I've 
tried..  'ps -aux | grep cups' and it says.... 

root      5893  0.0  0.2   2072   604 pts/3    S+   16:52   0:00 tail 
-n 300 -f /var/log/cups/error_log
root      5925  0.0  0.2   1860   624 pts/1    S+   16:55   0:00 grep 
cups


So, what is bound to port 631 ?  Can't remember how to sort that out 
by command line ?  Bit of help with the debug on what's on port 631 
might be good :)
