[cups.bugs] [MOD] STR #2043: 7z not unzip for unzipping self-extracting zip files.

[Pete Boyd]

[STR New]

http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html says "If you download the Adobe
drivers, use the free unzip software to extract the files from the
self-extracting ZIP file containing the drivers;". As far as I can tell
the free unzip software doesn't unzip from self-extracting zip files. If
it does can you please include in the documentation the switch by which to
do so. If it actually doesn't then you should recommend using p7zip
instead, i.e. using '7z x winsteng.exe'. On Debian the package name is
p7zip-full.

The cupsaddsmb man page (http://cups.org/doc-1.2/man-cupsaddsmb.html)
needs to mention this too. You need to include a step before "Once you
have extracted the driver files" to say to use p7zip.

(I don't know how to convert to lowercase when using p7zip, as one would
use the -L switch with unzip).
