[X4U] After Tiger: Printer message in console every couple minutes

Ever since upgrading to Tiger about a week ago, I get a stupid message in my
console every couple minutes.

smbd: cupsd mach_msg error (ipc/rcv) timed out

It looks like samba is looking for a printer or something.  So, I launched
Print Center to see if it's trying to print something, and see that, on the
contrary, the upgrade has also wiped my printer list clean.  "You have no
printers available".

But apparently I'm getting warm because launching Print Center causes
similar crap in the console:

/Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility.app/Contents/MacOS/Printer
Setup Utility: cupsd mach_msg error (ipc/rcv) timed out

/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/PrinterNotifications.bundle/Contents/Mac
OS/makequeues: cupsd mach_msg error (ipc/rcv) timed out
  
Adding a printer to the list did not help.

Has anyone else seen this, or know how to stop it?

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
