This one should have the files for the Win9x clients:
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
DEFPRTR2.PPD
ICONLIB.DLL
PSMON.DLL
The "Universal" one possibly contains the files for the WinNT/2K/XP
clients:
ADOBEPS5.DLL
ADOBEPSU.DLL
ADOBEPSU.HLP
Possibly you can unpack this file with "cabextract", "unzip"
or "expand".
If that doesn't work, you'd need to install them on a WinNT/2K/XP box
once and manually retrieve them via "smbclient" accessing the
"print$"
share (or looking in "C:\Windows\system32\spool\driver..."

Yes.
"cupsaddsmb" grabs them there and puts them into
"/etc/samba/drivers/"
if you run it. "/etc/samba/drivers/" will then be accessible to the
clients as the "print$" share.
Please also read my previous mail.
