[STALE] client only samba smb.conf

I'm not interested in sharing anything with samba but want to install a pure client only installation. Yet cups complaints about a missing smb.conf file.

What should go in the smb.conf file if only I want to connect to shares and shared printers?

Re: [STALE] client only samba smb.conf

Are you seeing a failure or just noise? Smbclient also complains if smb.conf doesn't exist, but still functions properly AFAICT. Simply creating a blank /etc/samba/smb.conf prevents the error.

I exactly did that. The problem occurs when I attempt to print a document to our shared printer. In the print dialog I see "Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it"

As I have not installed a samba server--no need for it--I don't have  testparm and frankly probably no need for it, do I?
