Hi everyone,

I'm new to SUSE (and linux admin in general) and am trying to configure 
a samba server using yast.  When I start the yast samba server 
configuration tool, it hangs at 50% on printer settings (I then have to 
kill yast).  As the machine is a file server and I haven't had the need, 
I don't have any printer set up for this machine.

To attempt to get past this hanging point, I tried to set up a printer, 
during which I get "Error CUPS daemon died during initialization" and 
two different points.  Since the machine is a file server, I tried to 
minimalize what I installed on it.  So, I only have cups-client, 
cups-libs, cups-libs-32bit, and xpp installed.  From chkconfig --list, I 
don't see any cups daemon listed.

With this information, I'd appreciate any suggestions/advice on how to 
get the samba server configuration tool to stop hanging.  Does samba 
require cups to be running?  Do I need to set up cups?  Do I need to 
install more packages? 

Thanks for any and all advice!
Allison
