Richard,

from what I can see, you don't know yet about the new alternative provided
by CUPS since release 1.1.16: you don't need to resort to the ADOBE* PS
driver anymore for WinNT/2K/XP clients (you still need it for Win9x).

CUPS developers have made a free PostScript driver for the mentioned Windows
client OS versions, "optimized" to generate output fit for CUPS as a print
server.

This has some changes to the cupsaddsmb procedure. See the latest "man
cupsaddsmb" for updates. (That said, it should still work the same for the
"old" way with the ADOBE*.DLL|HLP files...)

To install the CUPS PostScript driver for WinNT/2K/XP you need to download
the "cups-samba.tar.gz". It contains an installation script. Basically it
is the 3 files "cupsdrvr.dll", "cups.hlp" and "cupsui.dll" which go into
"/usr/share/cups/drivers/" (just like the ADOBE* ones), from which the
"cupsaddsmb" command transfers them (with the help of "rpcclient") to
[print$]. Note, that the cups driver files need to be spelled in lower
case, while the ADOBE* ones need upper case). You can have both, CUPS
and ADOBE* versions present in "/usr/share/cups/drivers/", and "cupsaddsm"
will take the ones you put there last (for the NT/2K/XP clients).

What is the advantage in using the CUPS PostScript drivers on Windows?
They will include some settings for the printfile encapsulated as
PostScript comments: from the second line in the file you'd discover
a few "%cupsJobTicket: ..." lines. Every other interpreter will ignore
them, but CUPS as a RIP will evaluate them as settings for the printjob.

The driver no longer puts "JCL" commands in front of the real PostScript
(starting with a "%!PS" sequence. This means: the file will *always* be
auto-typed as MIME type "application/postscript" and will go through the
"pstops" filter, thusly putting the right accounting figures into the
CUPS "page_log" file. Previously the "JCL" commands from some drivers
made the file look like an "application/cups.vnd-postscript" MIME type
(as it is output by "pstops") and therefor created only the dummy entry
of "1" page into the page_log.

Other than that, I can't see another obvious thing in your quoted log:
If I execute the command, I see much the same thing as you do:

Up to this point everything is alright. Now we differ: the next line
"Running command..." I can't see within your log.

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

 From there, our logs look the same. However you get the NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
result

    cmd = adddriver "Windows 4.0" "mopi:ADOBEPS4.DRV:mopi.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:\
              RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV:mopi.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"
    Printer Driver mopi successfully installed.

I suspect that you haven't the right version of "cupsaddsm" running....
Could you check if this was also upgraded when you moved to CUPS 1.1.16?
How did you do the upgrade? Did you compile yourself? Or was it a
precompiled binary from some source?
