[Samba] 3 simple questions

Hi.  I am running 3.0.20.

1. I would like to have an include statement pointing to user
configurations.  For a user, say 'mike', the following works:

   include = /home/mike/smb.conf

But this does not:

   include = /home/%u/smb.conf

I am using a very simple config with 'security = user'.  What am I doing
wrong?

I cannot get any log feedback from this ('testparm' says it cannot locate
the include file but I take this as normal since it cannot make the
substitution).

2. I have disabled printing using:

   disable spoolss = yes

My logs are filling up with messages (every 30 minutes):

printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85)
  Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused

How can I stop this from happening?

3. Is there any way to have a truly anonymous connection?  Currently I
have a guest user set up on my host and I connect by inputing this
username with blank password.  I do not want to have to enter anything.  I
do not want even the pop-up box to appear when I click on the
corresponding share icon.  Is this possible?

This is what I currently have:

[global]
   security = user
   guest account = guest

[share]
   guest ok = yes


Thanks to anyone who can assist.

Peter
