On my network, the main machine (running Mandrake 2005LE) is running CUPS but 
the Samba daemon is not running.   Despite the lack of the Samba server, a 
Windows machine just happily printed a bit of text in Notepad using the 
printer attached to the main machine.

What happens if you stop the Samba daemon on your server?
