samba - Jan 2006 - Novice question - How to completely disable printing and /etc/printcap errors ?

I'm running Samba 3.0.21a (blastwave build) on Solaris 9. The Solaris
servers have no printers attached or accessible, just file service. Samba
users authenticate off a Win2003 AD controller and get printing from that.

I got rid of the "Unable to connect to CUPS Server" errors by adding
to
smb.conf the line
   printing=bsd
but I am still getting
 smbd[4809]: [ID 702911 daemon.error]   Unable to open printcap file
/etc/printcap for read!

Is there a way to get rid of this error short of recompiling?  (it is nice
to be using the

thanks Betsy

The following (or something like it) was suggested earlier on the list
by Jerry Carter:
    load printers = no
    printing = bsd
    printcap name = /dev/null
    disable spoolss = yes
