Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 – Connection refused

On my fileserver, I have printing disabled in Samba but still I get all these messages in the logs:
[2011/12/08 10:18:26.821280, 0] printing/print_cups.c:108(cups_connect)
Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 - Connection refused

I don't want Samba to offer printers. After trying some configurations, I found this made smbd stop trying:

load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
