Partial workaround for USB-to-Parallel adapter problem
Authored by: viscaria on Feb 29, '04 11:34:52AM

The open printer sharing ports can easily be closed with ipfw:

type 'sudo ipfw list'

find ind the two lines that coorespond to printer sharing ports (631,515):

02090 allow tcp from any to any 631 in
02100 allow tcp from any to any 515 in

Type these two lines using the id numbers from 'ipfw list'
'sudo ipfw delete 02090'
'sudo ipfw delete 02100'
