[Samba] Re: cupsaddsmb problem

[A Yagi]

Thank you for posting this info.  I was having exactly the same problem 
with cupsaddsmb (cups version 1.1.22).  Somehow I managed to get it to 
work by excuting individual commands of cupsaddsmb step by step 
mannually.  Hope the problem is fixed in a future version of cups.
