samba - Dec 2006 - disable printing ?

Hi,

is it possible to disable the whole printing subsystem ?
When our cups server is hanging, the samba print server is also not working,
but the file server (which is not printing and also not sharing any 
printer) is
looking for the printer list ....

It's a Novell SLES 9 running samba-3.0.20b-3.4.

Bye, Peer

compile with option --disable-cups (this is what I do) 


 or put the following in your smb.conf

        load printers = no
        printing = bsd
        printcap name = /dev/null
        show add printer wizard = no
        disable spoolss = yes


printing = bsd is probably sufficient
