In my _working_ CUPS on Jessie, I have :

Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
Listen 192.168.11.5:631

which I find fascinating, as 192.168.11.5 is _NOT_ the IP address of my 
computer, yet somehow it works anyway. The port scan you did a reply or 
two ago showed you had something listening on UDP port 631, but nothing 
on TCP port 631, which is why printing is not working. 

Indulge us, and add a line to your cupsd.conf as follows:

Listen localhost:631

and restart CUPS and see what happens.

Assuming that works, you are going to want to know why it was necessary 
to add it, and I am afraid I have no idea. I can tell you though, for 
what use this is, it is _NOT_ a direct cause of the wheezy --> jessie 
upgrade. I performed that upgrade (a good while ago, to be fair) and did 
not experience this problem. So in the absence of better information I'd 
have to guess something you did or something else you installed resulted 
in this happening to your conf file. I really have no idea what that 
could be though.

Yes, this worked without specifying an ip just localhost:631

The upgrade was from jessie to stretch and I had never edited this file,
yesterday I didn't even know where it was.
If this line is by default in this file and this file pre-existed on
jessie how could that line be omitted?  Or was the upgrade from cups 1.7
to 2.2??  replacing this file?

My frustration as I recommend to others to leave their non-open non-free
systems and trying debian is that after a successful installation their
basic utilities (of an average Win7 user) are there.  No shell command
writing or editing script files.  It seems as this is not the case as it
is with 20% of packages installed not working with a particular desktop,
etc.

In the case of a near-sighted person leading the blind some experience
is not very confidence inspiring.  Most of the manuals have an extensive
administration and programmer experience as a prerequisite.  In other
words I have yet to find ONE debian manual page that explains one thing
without knowledge of many other things that appear as common knowledge
but are a foreign language to many of us mortals.  And it is getting
more complex instead of being simplified.

You don't mean localhost:631 works, surely? What is 192.168.11.5? Does
cupsd run on it?

Exactly.

It would solve his problem.

There is nothing in the postinst script for cups which would replace a
"Listen localhost:631" line. Easily tested with

 apt-get --reinstall install cups

Are you repeatedly denying what I have repeatedly said or is it that you
just don't know and can't guess?  For the rest of the people following
the thread I can assure you that neither I or has there been anybody
"physically" that has touched this pc and omitted this line.
I have no idea whether the update from jessie to stretch would replace
this file, I assume it is not the same as the packages are different so
the conf I suspect it might be different, I don't know.  That would put
this change within the past 2-3 weeks.

Unless I read specific instructions form a reliable source to edit a
conf. file I don't go about messing with them, I know that much.

So for me the puzzle remains, for Brian the explanation maybe I
sleepwalk and change things unconsciously.

Do you want it fixed, or do you just want to whine about it? I don't know 
why the paranoia over security has caused that to be removed some years 
ago, but those of us with well isolated home networks have been putting 
that line back in our /etc/cups/cupsd.conf for years. If you refuse to 
do it, take your whine on down the hall where there might be some cheese  
and maybe some pickles to go with it.

A problem was stated and diagnosed and a solution offered. Up to now,
the OP hasn't even had the grace to say what the solution did for him.

Thank you very much Gene,
You are the first person to ever mention that "the line was removed" for
security paranoia, not that I mistakenly removed it by mistake over the
past few months of it running under jessie and not running under
stretch.  This is what I wanted to find out, why did this happen.
Now it DOES make sense.

I arrest my case!

You can have the pickles I am allergic and you must have a craving for
them for mentioning them, save one for Brian!

This is a case of the perfect memory versus the contents of cups'
postinst script. The "perfect memory" is accessible to only one
person; the postinst script is accessible to everyone. All the
somebodies (that could be the OP if he feels inclined to other than
speculation and ad hominem) could examine it and point out where it
replaces 'Listen localhost:631' with something else.

Not that it is important in the grand scheme of things, but having
a technical detail or two wouldn't break the bank.
