Received.
cupsaddsmb is one of component and not-well tested I think.
I'll try to reproduce and find a solution.

 any

Package: cupsys-client
Version: 1.1.20final+rc1-10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The command 'cupsaddsmb -a' returns :
    Password for root required to access localhost via SAMBA:
but when I type in the password, it isn't recognize.
I've also tried with other user using -U param but the result is the same.
As I don't know which kind of user it's waiting, I've tried system users
and samba users but It's always the same result.

New upstream version, 1.1.22 improves around cupsaddsmb.
I uploaded that version to experimental, and my repository.
My repository is:
deb http://kmuto.jp/debian/cups ./

Could you try it?

Thanks,

cupsaddsmb is not friendly tool, but you can get more information by
'cupsaddsmb -v', and from your samba server log.
Did you see man page of cupsaddsmb and follow its instruction?

On etch (cupsys_1.2.7-4etch2 and samba_3.0.24-6etch9):

When called without specifying any server, the default SAMBA server
wasn't set. This was reported upstream in STR #2556 and fixed in SVN
r7033 (included in Debian version 1.3.4-1). Backporting the upstream
patch fixes the bug in cupsys_1.2.7-4etch2:
