But you can tell *that* bug from the (wrong) line

    Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'admin%secret' -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0" \
                   "K100_HP4050:ADOBEPS4.DRV:K100_HP4050.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:\
                   RAW:\
                   K100_HP4050.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"'

instead of the (correct) one:

    Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -U'admin%secret' -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0" \
                   "K100_HP4050:ADOBEPS4.DRV:K100_HP4050.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:\
                   RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV,\
                   K100_HP4050.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"'

However, Jeff's quote of his cupsaddsmb output shows the correct line....

However, your hint to that bug is very much appreciated. I remember that one, but can't
remember which version of CUPS was biten by it. Do you have a version no. (to put it in
the Samba printing documentation)?

Cheers & Thanks,
Kurt
