Make sure there's no uncommented "Port" option in the file.

What I have on my printer server is:

Browsing On
BrowseProtocols cups
BrowseOrder Deny,Allow
BrowseAllow from @LOCAL
BrowseAddress 255.255.255.255
Listen *:631

The other linux boxes on my network auto-discover my printer with this
config on the server.
