Two things:

If you are using DAVE,I believe you don't need to enable the Macintosh Print
server, disable it using the services control panel, you probably don't need
services for macintosh at all.

I dont use DAVE, so I may be wrong, but if you are using SMB, I see no
reason to enable appletalk on the NT server.

(I,m changing our file/print servers to Linux /Samba/NetAtalk where
approprate.)
