[Samba] using cupsaddsmb with W98

[Norbert Gomes]

Hello

I've got some problems downloading Adobe PostScript printer drivers on a 
Windows 98 client :

On the server side (Red Hat 9  / Samba 3.0.2 / Cups 1.1.17) :

I installed succesfully my printers with Cups and they work fine on Linux
I ran cupsaddsmb tool to copy the Adobe files in the [print$] directory 
which gives this result :

in /etc/samba/W32X86/2 : cupsdrvr.dll    cups.hlp    cupsui.dll    
printer.ppd
in /etc/samba/WIN40 : ADFONTS.DLL    DEFPRTR2.PPD    ICONLIB.DLL    
PSMON.DLL
in /etc/samba/WIN40/0 : ADOBEPS4.DRV    ADOBEPS4.HLP    printer.PPD

On the client side (Windows 98) :

I install the printer via the Network Neighbourhood but only the 
ADOBEPS4.DRV file is copied from the server and Windows can't print the 
Test Page.
If I manually install the Adobe Drivers on the client, I can use the 
printer.

I think that there is an error while the files are copied to the client 
but I found no information in Samba's log and Cups logs.


Here is the output of cupsaddsmb command :

And here is my smb.conf sections related to printers :

[global]
   load printers = yes
   printing = cups
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   printer admin = @admin

[printers]
   comment = Imprimantes
   path = /var/tmp
   browseable = no
   printable = yes
   printer admin = @admin

[print$]
   comment = Drivers PostScript pour les imprimantes
   path = /etc/samba/drivers
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes     
   write list = @admin admin
 


I don't understand what's going on, can someone help me ?

Thank you
