After running "cupsaddsmb -v -a -U root -h mysambahost" and clicking on 
my printer icon (using Windows XP home, German edition) I get the error 
message attached to this mail.

I translate this error message:

    "The file 'CUPS6.PPD' from (unknown) is needed. Please give the path
    to the file and then click 'OK'. Copy files from: "c:\windows"."


Why does my Windows ask for this file, if it's not necessary? Should 
someone (with permissions) reopen this bug?

Regards,
Björn
