stop avahi on archlinux

Question

I have archlinux with samba.

I noticed from last update it started avahi-daemon.

If I stop/disable avahi, seems samba starting avahi automatically. Also tried with kill.

Printing is disabled in samba.

How can I prevent samba to start avahi after samba start?

Add the following line to your smb.conf and it should do the trick.
