But, Larry, you forget that 631 is just a *default* port.  There
is absolutely nothing that says a conforming implementation can't
allow usage on other ports (just as a web server allows usage of
ports other than 80).

So, Don's example is completely legitimate and accurate.  His
administrator (you do have your private sysadmin, don't you
Don ;-) simply chose to configure his IPP printer to run on
port 80.

so there...
