CUPS “PostScript Driver for Windows NT/200x/XP”
CUPS users may get the exact same package from
https://www.cups.org/software.html. It is a separate package
from the CUPS-based software files, tagged as CUPS 1.1.x Windows NT/200x/XP Printer Driver for Samba (tar.gz,
192k). The filename to download is cups-samba-1.1.x.tar.gz . Upon untar and unzipping, it
will reveal these files:
root#
tar xvzf cups-samba-1.1.19.tar.gz
cups-samba.install
cups-samba.license
cups-samba.readme
cups-samba.remove
cups-samba.ss
These have been packaged with the ESP meta-packager software EPM. The *.install and
*.remove files are simple shell scripts, which untar the *.ss (the
*.ss is nothing else but a tar archive, which can be untarred by “tar” too).
Then it puts the content into /usr/share/cups/drivers/ . This content includes three
files:
root#
tar tv cups-samba.ss
cupsdrvr.dll
cupsui.dll
cups.hlp
The
cups-samba.install
shell scripts are easy to
handle:
root#
./cups-samba.install
[....]

Installation is complete.
The script should automatically put the driver files into the
/usr/share/cups/drivers/ directory:
root#
cp /usr/share/drivers/cups.hlp /usr/share/cups/drivers/
