[cups] Cups-PDF & a few problems

[Steve Root]

I don't use CentOS, but I recall getting confused by Ubuntu/Samba
automatically finding and installing printers on the network.
Maybe when you create a printer, CentOS is later finding and creating a new
queue for similar reasons

Switching it off was a config setting in samba iirc
I don't recall if it actually caused me any problems though (other than
confusing me)
