Try (as root)

netstat -pantu|grep 631
tcp  0  0 0.0.0.0:631  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN      6461/cupsd
udp  0  0 0.0.0.0:631  0.0.0.0:*              6461/cupsd

This will give you the process ID and process name that is grabing port 
631. Should then be a case of shutting down whatever is causing the problem.
