I got a lot of error in my syslog:

We don't officially support CUPS (configuration) but if you manage to get it running, let us know what packages/configuration you needed. Than we will add it to our samba package and you still contributed Wink

RE: Samba printing error - effemmeffe - 12th Mar, 2013 07:23 AM

But I don't want to use cups, I just want to remove all those errors...

RE: Samba printing error - CurlyMo - 12th Mar, 2013 07:27 AM

Then your title is confusing...

RE: Samba printing error - effemmeffe - 12th Mar, 2013 05:18 PM

I'm sorry about the title, what do you think it should be?

RE: Samba printing error - CurlyMo - 12th Mar, 2013 06:50 PM

"Samba gives unrelated CUPS errors"

RE: Samba gives unrelated CUPS errors - effemmeffe - 12th Mar, 2013 07:00 PM

ok, title changed

Forgot about this: any solution? I still get a lot of unrelated CUPS errors...
How do I disable CUPS?
I'm on the last beta.

Have you just tried uninstalling it? I wonder if when you installed samba, you accepted CUPS in the process?

or CUPS will still have it's own configuration file, so edit that so that it "sort of" works.

I used xbian-config to install samba, no question asked.
I don't need it, I'd like to have the syslog clean of its garbage, I don't know how to "sort of" make it works...

Then try uninstalling it -
Terminal
sudo apt-get -s remove cups.
If that doesn't throw up any errors, remove the -s

No luck:
Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo apt-get -s remove cups

cups is standard linux printing engine and somehow become like part of base install Sad(

btw: my beta2 install is fine without cups (apt-get purge cups). and I have also samba installed. currently the minimum possible is libcups2 installed. but exactly this is also where the support for other programs and your logging moved.

try to check those smb.conf switches against samba documentation:

cups server =
cups encrypt = No
cups connection timeout = 30
printing = cups
cups options =

maybe you find out how to limit the flooding to minimum.
