Hi.
By default samba is using cups for printing, so it starts to flood in
logfiles
with:
smbd[12245]: [2013/09/13 21:03:48.595183,  0]
printing/print_cups.c:151(cups_connect)
smbd[12245]:   Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Connection

smbd[14345]:   failed to retrieve printer list: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

I suggest to change printing system from cups to bsd to prevent this
annoying
messages in logs.

Change MASTER_SITES while here.
No issue with changing master sites but the change in config file
CHANGES THE DEFAULT to BSD not CUPS. Your own admission is "By default
samba is using cups for printing". I don't see the issue that people
wanting bsd style printing actually edit their config file and change it.
Yes, my thought is to set BSD by default to get rid of messages about refused
connection to CUPS on a fresh setup of samba.
printing = cups is hardcoded somewhere, so even if this line is commented out
in config file, samba still trying to connect to cups. The easyiest way to
override it is to set printing = bsd in config.


Yes, except that samba now ships with cups for all flavours, therefore cups is the default. If you want a non default, you need to edit the config file.
