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

[Jason Stewart]

Hi Greg,

You do have these files in the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory, and they 
are readable and all uppercase?
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
ADOBEPS5.DLL
ADOBEPSU.DLL
ADOBEPSU.HLP
DEFPRTR2.PPD
ICONLIB.DLL
PSMON.DLL

If you do not have these files, you can get them from www.adobe.com  with a 
postscript driver bundle.

Good Luck again,
Jason
