Ahh...yeah.  The ERRprinteralreadyexists return value was added
in between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3a.  Previously you could add the same printer
over and over.  This was semanticly incorrect.  Didn;t realize it
would break the cups stuff.  Sorry.

rpcclient also has a few bugs in 2.2.3a which may be another source
of grief.  Sorry.  We are planning to create a separate tool to do this 
kind of stuff.  One which developeres won't use for testing (since that 
results in all kind of mayhem in rpcclient) :-)




cheers, jerry
