We've had a lot of reported problems with the CUPS "cupsaddsmb"
program when adding the Adobe PS drivers via smbclient and rpcclient.
Everything worked in 2.2.2, but broke starting with 2.2.3.

I've been trying to root out the problem but haven't had much luck so
far (still getting up to speed on the spoolss code) - basic things
like the printer name and server name are not getting passed back
in the enumprinters request, for example.
