I can confirm the CUPS error_log problem on a Dell Inspiron 700m, although the log file hasn't grown nearly as large as the previous report, perhaps because this computer is regularly suspended or turned off.
The log file gets an entry every five seconds, exactly as described above. The affected system currently has no printers installed, but it will when it returns "home," so disabling CUPS isn't a viable option.
The other real problem with this CUPS problem is that it completely breaks laptop_mode, since the hard drive can never spin down, and at default laptop_mode settings the hard drive motor will do a partial spin down and spin up every five seconds, probably leading to a quick HDD death.
