CUPS is mentioned in the logs, and you don't seem to know what it is, so do
you have a line similar to:

printing = cups

in smb.conf?  If you don't need cups, don't list it in smb.conf.  I have
seen cases where a cups/smb mismatch killed samba.  If you do need cups,
make sure it accepts connections from localhost (should be default case).

Also, did you define guest in smb.conf and did you create the acct with
smbpasswd -a
