How do you get the local cupsd to stop ?
If you configure all printing to a single cups machine
Yast tries to stop the local cupsd and fails. If you
use Yast and disable cupsd when you try and configure
network printers it restarts the local cupsd despite being disabled

Well, why would you want to do that?
AFAIUI, applications send their print jobs to the local cupsd, which then sends it to the network printer or another cupsd on a remote machine…
But to stop cupsd, you would do:
sudo systemctl stop cups.service
And to not start it on boot:
sudo systemctl disable cups.service
AFAIK you don’t need cupsd running on the local machine if you only print to the network
and Yast won’t allow you to configure printing to a single cups server if it can see a local
cupsd running. Using systemctl disable cups.service seems to work ( many thanks ) but Yast
complains bitterly when it first starts up that a local cupsd isn’t running. Once you have
told it to print to a single cups server on the network it seems happy. It’s an odd quirk
but it is only M1
Thanks

Assuming you have CUPS printers shared across your network, then any local machine needs to have a CUPS client configured as well
