Michael,

thanks for your response. I don't agree with your statement. I can use 
the Adobe Postscript driver for NT, 2000 and XP without problems. But 
cupsaddsmb doesn't support installing the adobe drivers any more. So I 
have to write my own cupsaddsmb script - its not difficult at all, but I 
would prefer an option to cupsaddsmb that lets the user decide which 
drivers should be installed.
