No, you just added the ordinary part - there are no CustomJCLMailbox
or ParamCustomJCLMailbox attributes to trigger the "custom" part.

Can you post a link to the full PPD file?  My guess is that you are
running into an Ubuntu bug, but seeing how cupsaddsmb (and the
underlying CUPS API) deals with your complete PPD file will help me
determine if that is, in fact, the case.

Otherwise, everything *should* work since you put the PPD in the
right place and did the right things...
