> What packages do I need to fetch to compile Samba without Cups ?

You don't need to use CUPS to run Samba, it just needs to have
the library for cups installed. You can still use other printing
methods with Samba even if it has CUPS support compiled in.

I spent the morning working on installing LPRng. It requires
(for my simple setup anyway) another package called 'ifhp' as a filter.

ifhp requires foomatic. If you install the rpm for foomatic-filter
it requires cups. Argh... I am thinking maybe a pencil and paper
are not so bad...

I sort of wish LPRng was supported as an alternative to CUPS.

Printing setups have really always been sort of a pain in UNIX.
It's no different now...
