Package: cupsys-client
Version: 1.1.23-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

cupsaddsmb fails to do its job, without error message.

When looking to drivers directory, i see that :
-W32X86 directory is not created and the cups drivers files are copied nowhere.

After looking into source file cupsaddsmb.c, i can see that :

cupsaddsmb needs :
-Windows 2000 driver files
-CUPS driver V6 files ( they don't exist yet )
-Adobe Win9x driver files

It doesn't work if you have old version of CUPS driver for WINDOWS, like V5

However it is possible to manually install CUPS driver for WINDOWS V5 only as
discribed in SAMBA HOWTO COLLECTION chapter 19.2

IMHO, cupsaddsmb should test the version of CUPS driver for WINDOWS files found
and allow to install only the ones available.

Otherwise it should print an error message showing the missing files.

Hello,

this bug report has not been updated for years, is hard to reproduce,
and/or is likely fixed in current cups packages in Lenny. Therefore I
am closing it now. If you disagree and still have the problem, please
speak up, then I will reopen.

Thank you!

Martin
