Just *UNIX.

Doubt it.  I have this cups configuration:

<Location />
AuthType None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 10.0.0.0/24
</Location>

Yeah, I don't care which drivers I end up using, Adobe or Cups.

Taking your advice, I downloaded and installed the AdobePS drivers
on the Windows client and they work just fine.  I downloaded "Adobe
Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer 1.0.6 - English" from:

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=44&platform=Windows

However, I was really hoping to use the automagical driver download to
reduce management overhead.  So I tried to copy the files over to the
Samba+CUPS server, as per the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage:

	ADOBEPS5.DLL
	ADOBEPSU.DLL
	ADOBEPSU.HLP

But the AdobePS drivers I downloaded don't install any file matching
ADOBEPS*.* (Windows glob).  The cupsaddsmb(8) manpage suggests that such
files should exist after the installation.

What's the correct driver to download if I want to slap the files on
my Samba server's \print$ share?  All the documentation just says
http://www.adobe.com/.  I have a feeling that, once I get past this
hurdle, I'll be good to go!

Ciao,
Sheldon.
