The problem i encounter periodically is that cups needs a »Full reload« on certain boot-ups, wich takes about 30 seconds. When Samba starts itself in the bootprocess (wich about 2 seconds later) it spits out »Error: Cups-connection refused« or something similar. I think this is because cups is reloading itself and is not accepting any connections.

You should not need to restart samba in this case. On our CUPS server, CUPS is started some time after
SAMBA, and we get the same error message in our log.smbd. But samba successfully connects to the cups
server when the first print job via samba arrives.
