Package: cups-client
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/cupsaddsmb

cups-client ships usefull tool cupsaddsmb. It allows to upload some
driver's file to samba server and link printer to driver.

Out of the box it looks in /usr/share/cups/drivers for cups ps drivers.
But 
1)this driver isn't shipped with debian
2)this driver couldn't be shipped (it doesn't work without dll from M$)
  at least in main
3)this tool doesn't provide user any option to specify which driver to
  install (As I've seen in docs it could be CUPS's one, M$ one or Adobe
  one) and where files are located (User shouldn't put anything under
  /usr/share.)

I suggest this tool should have 2 options to specify:
* which driver to install
* path to driver files

With a 'wontfix' from the cups maintainer and no contact made with
upstream this bug report doesn't look as though it is going anywhere.
Therefore closing.

Regards,

Brian
