You should read the man page of "cupsaddsmb". It would tell you that
the preparation to be completed *before* running the command consists,
amongst other things, to place the Windows driver files into the
"/usr/share/cups/drivers/" repository..... (Unfortunately the license
prohibits the free re-distribution of the Adobe driver files.)

 From any Windows 2K/XP workstation that shares a PostScript printer....
It will have a share named "print$" where it offeres driver files for
"Point'n'Print" installations. Try this:

    smbclient -U windowsusername //windowshostname/print\$
    cd w32x86
    cd 2
    mget ADOBEPS*.*

Another option is to go to the Adobe website and search for their
PostScript driver.

Cheers,
Kurt
