I had a problem with CUPS which caused documents to be printed over and over
forever. I removed all of cups including all directories and files, and
then re-installed it. After the installation, I was unable to add SMB
printers. I found that the link /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb was missing.
After creating it using ln -s `which smbspool` /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
everything worked.
I had a look at the rpms, cups, cups-common, libcups1 and none of them appear
to create this link. Is there a reason why?
Is there another package which creates this link when it is installed?
Or is this link only created by the initial installation of the system?
