[Samba] I will pay you $10US (via Paypal) out of my own pocke t if you can solve this CUPS & Samba problem.

[WEBSTER, Greg]

[root at waifer root]# cupsaddsmb -a
Warning: No PPD file for printer "PSYSTEMS"!

What I'm guessing at this point is that Cups is having a hell of a time
reaching the PPD files. There definitely is one for my printer (HP 5000) on
the system.

Thanks, but no cigar :)
