Probably cupsaddsmb does not find the driver files (the v6 drivers from
esp
have not yet been released, AFAIK). I'd suggest to either get the
original M$ drivers (which should be used then) or use the "old" NT4
drivers
and perform all the steps that cupsaddsmb does "by hand" according to
chapter 19 of the SAMBA howto.
