[STR New]

In light of this, at this location:

The following should be radically changed because it is no longer the
case:
"Acquiring the Adobe Driver Files

Acquiring the Adobe driver files seems to be unexpectedly difficult for
many users. They are not available on the Adobe Web site as single files,
and the self-extracting and/or self-installing Windows-.exe is not easy to
locate either. You probably need to use the included native installer and
run the installation process on one client once. This will install the
drivers (and one generic PostScript printer) locally on the client. When
they are installed, share the generic PostScript printer. After this, the
client's [print$] share holds the Adobe files, which you can get with
smbclient from the CUPS host."
