Also checked Netstat -ano | find "631" but listing ports are not available ..

Troubleshooting done:

• Firewall complete disabled
• Rules 631 inbound created.
• CGI separate module configured " CGI Restrictions allow for internet printing"
• Print spooler restarted
• Internet printing agent configured on windows server
• Authentication checked all windows etc.

But still unbale to access URL with port 631 also 631 port is not available in listing
