WPv 3.3.1 Turn off POST or PAGE comments:
Go to any ‘Post’ screen. At the top right of the post screen are two drop-down shaded areas. One is ‘Screen Options’ and the other is ‘Help’. Click on the Screen Options drop down. Then check off the ‘Discussion’ check box. You should now have a section below your post text input window labeled ‘Discussion’. Under this heading uncheck the ‘Allow comments’ check box.
Follow the same directions for the ‘Page’ screen.
