I spent hours and hours trying to resolve this f****** problem (the installation of printers worked on a Fedora box but not on my Red Hat with exactly the same procedure)
I analyzed the logs from log level 1 to 5
I used ethereal to analyze the data
And a lot of other things that didn't work.
Finally, I desesperately decided to upgrade from cups 1.1.17 to 1.1.19 and it works fully (I thought that cupsaddsmb worked since cups 1.1.15 ?)
Feel stupid..... :-)

Hello
I've got some problems downloading Adobe PostScript printer drivers on a Windows 98 client :
On the server side (Red Hat 9 / Samba 3.0.2 / Cups 1.1.17) :
I installed succesfully my printers with Cups and they work fine on Linux
I ran cupsaddsmb tool to copy the Adobe files in the [print$] directory which gives this result :
in /etc/samba/W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll cups.hlp cupsui.dll printer.ppd
in /etc/samba/WIN40 : ADFONTS.DLL DEFPRTR2.PPD ICONLIB.DLL PSMON.DLL
in /etc/samba/WIN40/0 : ADOBEPS4.DRV ADOBEPS4.HLP printer.PPD
On the client side (Windows 98) :
I install the printer via the Network Neighbourhood but only the ADOBEPS4.DRV file is copied from the server and Windows can't print the Test Page.
If I manually install the Adobe Drivers on the client, I can use the printer.
I think that there is an error while the files are copied to the client but I found no information in Samba's log and Cups logs.
Here is the output of cupsaddsmb command :

And here is my smb.conf sections related to printers :
[global] load printers = yes printing = cups printcap name = /etc/printcap printer admin = @admin
[printers] comment = Imprimantes path = /var/tmp browseable = no printable = yes printer admin = @admin
[print$] comment = Drivers PostScript pour les imprimantes path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes read only = yes write list = @admin admin
I don't understand what's going on, can someone help me ?
Thank you
