[Samba] using cupsaddsmb with W98 [solved]

[Norbert Gomes]

OK, now it works.

I spent hours and hours trying to resolve this f****** problem (the 
installation of printers worked on a Fedora box but not on my Red Hat 
with exactly the same procedure)
I analyzed the logs from log level 1 to 5
I used ethereal to analyze the data
And a lot of other things that didn't work.

Finally, I desesperately decided to upgrade from cups 1.1.17 to 1.1.19 
and it works fully (I thought that cupsaddsmb worked since cups 1.1.15 ?)

Feel stupid..... :-)
