[Samba] Samba, Cups, printer driver download problems

I have Samba 2.2.6 complied against Cups 1.1.16 on a Sparc system running 
Solaris 9.  Cups has replaced the stock system V lp spooler on this system 
(original packages removed.)

Cups working from UNIX command line is A-OK.

I have been working on setting up Samba to play nice with cups.  I have 
followed the instructions from both the Cups and Samba websites to set up 
downloading of the generic Adobe postscript drivers to MS Windows PCs and use 
CUPS as a RIP.

So far I have been unable to get the Windows 98 drivers to download to the 
client PC - when adding the printer the client ends up asking the user what type
of printer is being added.  Driver downloads for W2K work OK.

The relevant lines from a Samba log file seem to be:

-----------------

-------------------

Cupsaddsmb ran without errors and the WIN40 subdirectory is populated with 
files.


Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks,
Bob Martel

bug in cupsaddsmb (fixed in 1.1.16?) , some files are not copied right.

Problem : 
automatic downloading of adobe drivers added with cupsaddsmb fails with
message
"unable to open file adopeps4.drv" at the end of install on win98
client

Cause:
cupsaddsmb sends a 
rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%pass' -c 'adddriver "Windows
4.0"
"printer_name:ADOBEPS4.DRV:printer_name.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"
which forgets adobeps4.drv; 

Solution:
the proper command should read :
rpcclient localhost -N -U'root%pass' -c 'adddriver "Windows
4.0"
"printer_name:ADOBEPS4.DRV:printer_name.PPD:NULL:ADOBEPS4.HLP:PSMON.DLL:RAW:ADOBEPS4.DRV:ADFONTS.MFM,DEFPRTR2.PPD,ICONLIB.DLL"
