So if you type "ls /usr/share/cups/drivers" you get e.g. "ps5ui.dll" and other driver files showing up? All filenames are lowercase? > 1.

The drivers are the copied to one of theese two. What happens if you manually copy the files to the print$ share? Does it make a difference if you make the print$ share world-writable/unrestricted when you run cupsaddsmb, just in case it's a permissions problem? > Now on my new installations (i tried many times in the last days) the > drivers are not copied to the [print$] share, so the windows client > don't find them. You could try copying the generic Adobe drivers to print$/W32X86/3/ which is where my files are located. This should be enough to get it working with the Adobe driver - I'm not sure where the other drivers put their files but if you could find this out you should be able to use any driver.
