[STR New]

After successfully executing cupsaddsmb to export all CUPS printers to
Samba, the printer information file cups6.inf is not copied to
/var/lib/samba/printers/W32X36 even though it was present in the source
directory /usr/share/cups/driver.  See 'man cupsaddsmb' for a list of
required source files.  See attached file for the command output.

The net effect is that although a Windows host can browse and select
printers from the Samba server it is unable to locate the correct drivers
for the printer and the user is prompted to select a local driver.

A workaround is to copy the file cups6.inf manually to
/var/lib/samba/printers/W32X36
