No.  That stuff is commented out.
    grep 'ServerBin' /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
  # ServerBin: the root directory for the scheduler executables.
  #ServerBin /usr/lib/cups
So that should default to the right place right?

Egad, no I missed that.

contents of smb* files below.  There were two.  I've printed the first
one below.  The second one is identicle except for the first line
which is shown in a diff at the end.

But it appears the main thing of note is this line:
  cli_start_connection: failed to connect to CUPS<20> (0.0.0.0)
Which appears to show that cups is trying to connect 0.0.0.0 which is
usally interpreted as localhost I think.  Is that wrong or indicating
some config problem further up the chain of command?
