Package: cups-client Version: 1.4.4-7 Severity: normal Hi there!
cupsaddsmb uses smbclient to upload the drivers. However, there is no mention of it in cupsaddsmb manpage nor in /usr/share/doc/cups-client nor in the package description. To make this even worse, when called without having smbclient available, cupsaddsmb starts getting crazy continuously trying to upload the very same files, while it should simply exit telling that smbclient is not available: ===== root@tinello:/etc# cupsaddsmb -a -v -U root -H tinello Password for root required to access tinello via SAMBA: Running command: \ smbclient //tinello/print$ -N -A /tmp/013f44d7c5e8a -c 'mkdir W32X86;put /tmp/013f44d7033b6 \ W32X86/HPe_Color-LaserJet-CM1017.ppd;put \ /usr/share/cups/drivers/ps5ui.dll W32X86/ps5ui.dll;put \ /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript.hlp W32X86/pscript.hlp;put \ /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript.ntf W32X86/pscript.ntf;put \ /usr/share/cups/drivers/pscript5.dll W32X86/pscript5.dll' Unable to copy Windows 2000 printer driver files (2)!
