I'm following the Samba HOWTO for CUPS printing, trying to run the
'cupsaddsmb' program but it requires the Adobe PS files.  The howto says
to get them from www.adobe.com, can anyone be more specific?

The files required are:
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
ADOBEPS5.DLL
ADOBESU.DLL
ADOBESU.HLP
ADOBEPTR2.PPD
ICONLIB.DLL

I've downloaded the "Universal 1.0.6 English" 7.4MB winsteng.exe[1] for
Windows and got all of the above files except "ADOBEPS5.DLL, ADOBEPSU.DLL,
and ADOBESU.HLP" from c:\windows\system...

The "AdobePS 4.2.6 for Win9x" 1MB aps426eng.exe[2] had even fewer files.

Is there a tar/zip archive of these files somewhere?
Should they really be placed in /usr/share/cups/drivers  while the
smb.conf says:
[print$]
  path = /etc/samba/drivers
