Recently Francois noted that there was an interference by a firewall when trying to set up a printer. He reported that to pureos/dev Element channel and the preference was stated by the CSO that the two processes listening on 0.0.0.0 get switched to localhost.

A recent test of a fresh VM install of PureOS 10 (pureos-10~devel-gnome-oem-20220302_amd64.iso) shows these processes on 0.0.0.0
