Likewise the man page: 

Copyright 1993-2006 by Easy Software Products, All Rights Reserved.
12 January 2006           Common UNIX Printing System           
cupsaddsmb(8)
Manual page cupsaddsmb(8) line 109/149 (END)

states:

"cupsaddsmb  can  use the CUPS v6 PostScript printer driver for Windows,
which is available for download from the CUPS web site."

yet no hint is given where exactly it can be downloaded. Not even on the
website is it obvious, you have to dig to a comment by Mike hidden in one
of the messages posted to learn:

"From mike, 13:17 Apr 08, 2005 (score=3)

This driver is no longer available for download off the web site; you can
go directly via the following link:
http://ftp.easysw.com/pub/cups/windows/ 
[ Reply | Moderate Down | Moderate Up ]"

This information should go somewhere visible, or, maybe, just include the
files with the packages for the distributions.
