I'm sorry.  I just found an earlier post that addresses mine.  Sorry for the duplicate.

I'm also using samba 3.0.23a and suspect that my observed cups problem may be caused by interactions with samba (because whenever I stop cups during these log floods, I see an smbd write failure in the system logs). I have tried using both the default cupsd.conf configuration file that is distributed with the latest rpm as well as the previous version that I was successfully using on an earlier FC4 system.
