      could you add port TCP 515 to the list of "known" ports as (LPR/LPD)?

        If we added all known services the list would grow to an unmanageable size (We could just read in /etc/services and be done with it) - so the drop-down is just the most commonly encountered services. You can always make your own port alias and use it if you need to make a lot of rules and want the name to show up.

            Firewall > Aliases, make an alias, choose "port" from the drop-down menu for the type.

                There's a reason the port fields on firewall rules are red. :-)
