I tried "cupsaddsmb -v PDFprinter", but system complaints that it cannot find PDFprinter.ppd. I tried copy PDFprinter.ppd to almost every folder, but still no luck. I'm doing this right? Where should I put PDFprinter.ppd?
I now have it working on NT/2000. But in 9x/ME, it complains that pdfprinter.PPD not found.
Try to use an 8-characters-only name for the PDF printer and it should be OK. A hint about this was already provided at

the very first question "Win9x client can't install driver"...
I checked WINNT40\0\, pdfprinter.PPD is in there. I even made duplicates like PDFPRINTER.PPD and pdfprinter.ppd, copied the file to a local disk, but 9x/ME still cannot find it. Could this be a bug somewhere? I don't know why I'm seeing all these strange cases 8(
