Aha!  That was the culprit, a new service that I didn't know about, and
it's working (well, now, at least, hopefully it stays that way).

Yes, I had already done that.  And just as well that I know what IPP
means, there's no hints in the firewall GUI.  Actually, on that note,
there's a scarcity of pop-up tool-tips in MATE, and not all aspects of
GUIs are understandable without such help, or documentation.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
