Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: normal
Hello,
since upgrading to squeeze cupsaddsmb stopped working:
$ sudo cupsaddsmb -v pdf
Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA:
Running command: smbclient //localhost/print$ -N -A /tmp/06b6f4d623ea3 -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /tmp/06b6f4d6b96ea W32X86/pdf.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'
[...]
Running command: rpcclient localhost -N -A /tmp/06b6f4d623ea3 -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0" "pdf:ADOBEPS4.DRV:pdf.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV,pdf.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL"'
result was WERR_INVALID_PARAM
tried to run this manually:
$ rpcclient localhost -U root%blub -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0" "pdf:ADOBEPS4.DRV:pdf.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV,pdf.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL"'
lub -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0" "pdf:ADOBEPS4.DRV:pdf.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV,pdf.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL"'result was WERR_INVALID_PARAM
I don't know why, but removing the "NULL" config file parameter seems to help.
$ rpcclient localhost -U root%blub -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0" "pdf:ADOBEPS4.DRV:pdf.PPD::ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV,pdf.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL"'
lub -c 'adddriver "Windows 4.0" "pdf:ADOBEPS4.DRV:pdf.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV,pdf.PPD,ADOBEPS4.HLP,PSMON.DLL,ADFONTS.MFM,ICONLIB.DLL"'
I just worked around this by removing my win98 drivers (the uppercase ADOBEPS4.DRV ....). cupsaddsmbd will then only add the NT drivers, which works.
I'm not sure whether this is a cups or a samba bug, but I believe most
people will come looking here, because the use cupsaddsmb and may find
this workaround usefull.
Cheers,
Christopher

Upstream sees this as a probable samba problem. Requests for more
testing within Debian have been unanswered. The cups version is older
than the ones in stable and oldstable. All reasons, I would say, for
not keeping this report open.
You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
unstable distribution. If considered necessary, this report could be
re-opened or a new bug report, possibly referencing this one, submitted.
Thank you for your report.
Regards,
Brian.
