Hi , i am trying to add a driver to windows using the smbclient and
rpc commands [got those from cupsaddsmb -v commands] and i am getting
:

smbclient //localhost/print$ -U $PASS  -N -c ' mkdir W32X86;put
GENERIC.ppd W32X86/GENERIC.ppd;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/ps5ui.dll
W32X86/ps5ui.dll;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript.hlp
W32X86/pscript.hlp;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript.ntf
W32X86/pscript.ntf;put /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll
W32X86/pscript5.dll '

smbclient //localhost/print$  -U $PASS -N -c 'put
/usr/share/cups/drivers/cups6.ini W32X86/cups6.ini;put
/usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsps6.dll W32X86/cupsps6.dll;put
/usr/share/cups/drivers/cupsui6.dll W32X86/cupsui6.dll '

These two lines above work and i can see those files in
\\server\print$\W32X86 , but when i try to run

rpcclient  -U $PASS localhost -N  -c  ' adddriver "Windows NT x86"
"Cups Generic Driver":pscript5.dll:GENERIC.ppd:ps5ui.dll:pscript.hlp:NULL:RAW:pscript5.dll,GENERIC.ppd,ps5ui.dll,pscript.hlp,pscript.ntf,cups6.ini,cupsps6.dll,cupsui6.dll"'

i get either

Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding
rpc_api_pipe: Remote machine localhost pipe \spoolss fnum
0x7708returned critical error. Error was Call returned zero bytes
(EOF)
result was DOS code 0x00000026
cli_rpc_pipe_close: cli_close failed on pipe \spoolss, fnum 0x7708 to
machine localhost.  Error was Call returned zero bytes (EOF)


OR

WERR_UNKNOWN_PRINTER_DRIVER


The strangest part is that i run sucessfully this same command ONCE
using just a different "DRIVER LONG NAME" and a different PPD.

any ideas ?
