I'm following the Samba HOWTO for CUPS printing, trying to run the
'cupsaddsmb' program but it requires the Adobe PS files.  The howto says
to get them from www.adobe.com, can anyone be more specific?
The files required are:
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
ADOBEPS5.DLL
ADOBESU.DLL
ADOBESU.HLP
ADOBEPTR2.PPD
ICONLIB.DLL
I've downloaded the "Universal 1.0.6 English" 7.4MB winsteng.exe[1] for
Windows and got all of the above files except "ADOBEPS5.DLL, ADOBEPSU.DLL,
and ADOBESU.HLP" from c:\windows\system...
The "AdobePS 4.2.6 for Win9x" 1MB aps426eng.exe[2] had even fewer files.
This one should have the files for the Win9x clients:

           ADFONTS.MFM
           ADOBEPS4.DRV
           ADOBEPS4.HLP
           DEFPRTR2.PPD
           ICONLIB.DLL
           PSMON.DLL
The "Universal" one possibly contains the files for the WinNT/2K/XP
clients:
           ADOBEPS5.DLL
           ADOBEPSU.DLL
           ADOBEPSU.HLP
Possibly you can unpack this file with "cabextract", "unzip" or "expand".
If that doesn't work, you'd need to install them on a WinNT/2K/XP box
once and manually retrieve them via "smbclient" accessing the "print$"
share (or looking in "C:\Windows\system32\spool\driver..."
Is there a tar/zip archive of these files somewhere?
Not that I know... (legality, legality...)

Should they really be placed in /usr/share/cups/drivers 
Yes.

"cupsaddsmb" grabs them there and puts them into "/etc/samba/drivers/"
if you run it. "/etc/samba/drivers/" will then be accessible to the
clients as the "print$" share.
Please also read my previous mail.

while the
smb.conf says:
[print$]
  path = /etc/samba/drivers
