samba - Mar 2007 - CUPS errors when not using CUPS - Breaks printing

Hi All,

	We appear to have a CUPS problem that is breaking our (LPRng)
based printing.


We now have loads of errors of the form:_

[2007/03/08 12:21:36, 0, pid=23877] printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85)
  Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused


filling up the log.smbd file


We using
	printing=lprng
in smb.conf, and there isn't (nor has there ever been) any CUPS on the
server.

Any attempt to connect to a printer (e.g. Start|Run|\\server\printer )
results in an XP error message 'Incorrect Function'.


This is Samba 3.0.24 compiled from source on Solaris 9.

We believe (as best as we can tell) that this _has_ worked on 3.0.24
(since we upgraded from 3.0.22)

Can anyoune suggest what we need to do to make this work?  We think it
would involve telling Samba not to even bother looking for CUPS like
services in the first place.

Did you run the configure using --without-cups? I know Samba really likes 
CUPS now, and is the default printing system. Maybe it's stopping after not 
being able to get to CUPS (since CUPS doesn't exist
there).
