OK, now it works.
I spent hours and hours trying to resolve this f****** problem (the
installation of printers worked on a Fedora box but not on my Red Hat
with exactly the same procedure)
I analyzed the logs from log level 1 to 5
I used ethereal to analyze the data
And a lot of other things that didn't work.
Finally, I desesperately decided to upgrade from cups 1.1.17 to 1.1.19
and it works fully (I thought that cupsaddsmb worked since cups 1.1.15 ?)
Feel stupid..... :-)
