Message-Id: <email address hidden> Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 19:36:25 +0100 From: "PROD'HOMME Nicolas DDSC SDAM BSI" <email address hidden> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <email address hidden> Subject: cupsys-client: cupsaddsmb doesn't install cups for windows drivers
Package: cupsys-client Version: 1.1.23-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
cupsaddsmb fails to do its job, without error message.
When looking to drivers directory, i see that : -W32X86 directory is not created and the cups drivers files are copied nowhere.
After looking into source file cupsaddsmb.c, i can see that :
cupsaddsmb needs : -Windows 2000 driver files -CUPS driver V6 files ( they don't exist yet ) -Adobe Win9x driver files
It doesn't work if you have old version of CUPS driver for WINDOWS, like V5
However it is possible to manually install CUPS driver for WINDOWS V5 only as discribed in SAMBA HOWTO COLLECTION chapter 19.2
IMHO, cupsaddsmb should test the version of CUPS driver for WINDOWS files found and allow to install only the ones available.
Otherwise it should print an error message showing the missing files.
