Description of problem: "load printers = no" seems not to work anymore. If I have CUPS service turned off and don't want to use printers, I get "Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost Connection refused" error from time to time in message log. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.21b-2 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn off CUPS service (service cups stop) 2. put "load printers = no" into smb.conf Additional info: It's not clean FC5 install but upgrade from FC4.
Hello, Am going to work on reproducing this, should have more info soon.
Can you please attach your smb.conf and also please run this command and post its output? # rpm -qa | egrep "(samba|cups)" So we know the versions of all samba and cups-related packages on the system. Also might as well get the samba and cups logs: # tar cjf samba-logs.tar.bz2 /var/log/samba/* # tar cjf cups-logs.tar.bz2 /var/log/cups/* Thanks, Vince

CAn you set printing = bsd in smb.conf and see if this "fixes" it ?
Nice. Seems like you finally solved it. I also found this thread http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006- February/117184.html Samba needs one global switch to turn off printing however.
Thanks for reporting back, I will close this as not a bug, as I consider it more a configuration problem then a real bug, although I understand it is difficult to discover the correct set of options to do what you need. Maybe you can file a feature request at bugzilla.samba.org to ask for a global printing shutdown switch.
