The specific type of error is unimportant.  It would be an improvement
to have cupsaddsmb display "There was an error in adding the printer
while trying to (upload the driver files|add the driver|set the printer
to use the driver)" and halt.

Regardless of the error type, going into an infinite loop is the wrong
thing to do.
