If you have installed CUPS then you need to tell samba about it. The option for the samba port to print via CUPS was added sometime last year I think. You had to define WITH_CUPS when making the samba port. Recently CUPS support was added to the samba port by default. You can see the details in the PR ports/34683. If you don't want the cups-base port installed with samba then you have to define WITHOUT_CUPS when you make the samba port. Personally I think the port should print a message telling people how to not install CUPS. However, I believe cups-base does not override the base printing system, so installing it solves some people's problems without breaking anything else. I guess thats the reason why a message was not considered necessary. Still, it did confuse me for a moment when I upgraded samba the other day!
