samba connecting to non existent CUPS

Slackware 11, new install, samba config:

[global]
workgroup = TUBESGROUP
server string = Samba Server
username map = /etc/samba/users.map
log file = /var/log/samba.%m
max log size = 50
load printers = No
dns proxy = No
wins server = 192.168.1.1
ldap ssl = no

[mp3]
path = /mnt/ntfs/mp3
valid users = xxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx
browseable = No

smbd daemon is flooding syslog with:

I don't run CUPS, or have a printer. Is there a way to have samba stop trying to contact CUPS?

I think this will be an issue with other settings in smb.conf. I never had to set up my network printer with samba, but my smb.conf has these lines:

Code:

# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
load printers = yes

Maybe if you change it to "no" ...

Perhaps this blurb will help: using_samba_without_installing_cups
