I have a macOS 10.13 machine that is being used only for remote work, and has no need for printers. Printer Sharing is definitely turned off in System Preferences, and yet, cupsd
is listening to a port:
# lsof -i :631
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
cupsd 427 root 5u IPv6 0xbb661a1308e1d70b 0t0 TCP localhost:ipp (LISTEN)
cupsd 427 root 6u IPv4 0xbb661a130bee2d13 0t0 TCP localhost:ipp (LISTEN)
What is the appropriate way to turn off cupsd
?
