Hi,

tha package build defaults to build with cups printing support. so if you 
use the package, you will always get cups installed as a dependency.
if you want to entirely remove this dependency you have to build this port 
from source.and you need to run "make config" in the ports directory and 
should deslect the CUPS option.

setting "load printers = no" in smb.conf should prevent samba from 
acquiring any printers at all and you should not see the error message.
As far as i remember, there is NO "printers = no" option for smb.conf.
You should run testparm(1) to verify the options used in your smb.conf 
file.
