I guess so.

You mean the *wrong* command

rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%pass' -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0"
                        "printer_name:ADOBEPS4.DRV:printer_name.PPD:
                        NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:
                        ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"

is sent for you instead of the *right* one

rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%pass' -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0"
                        "printer_name:ADOBEPS4.DRV:printer_name.PPD:
                        NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:
                        ADOBEPS4.DRV:
                        ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"

But this looks not like a Samba bug; it is rather "cupsaddsmb"
duing the wrong thing. "cupsaddsmb" is basing itself on "rpcclient"
and the sole responsible source for issuing the parameters which are
handed to "rpcclient".

Anyway, I am *not* seeing this with my last few versions of cupsaddsmb.
Likely, this is fixed *long* ago.

Which version of CUPS are you using (and which platform?) if you see
this?

Could you post this to the CUPS mailing list at www.cups.org, please,
if it still prevails after upgrading CUPS (or ripping off a "cupsaddsmb"
binary from a more current CUPS installation)?
