Be a little careful here. It sounds like you:
1) installed samba-with-cups
a) which by definition would install CUPS, if you did
not already have it installed.
2) backed off to previous version of samba
a) which backs out the version of *samba* that was installed,
but probably does not back out versions of any other
ports which were installed while installing a new samba.
3) installed samba-without-cups
a) ...but CUPS is probably still installed.
b) if so, the configure scripts for samba will notice that
CUPS is on the machine, and will probably use it. This
would be the correct behavior, IMO, because if you *do*
have CUPS installed then samba *should* use it.
Some of that is just guessing on my part, but it sounds pretty
plausible. I would suggest that you see if CUPS is installed.
Also check to see if it is a recent install. If so, then
/usr/local/sbin/pkg_deinstall cups
and then try the samba-without-cups install once again.
