                          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?
