cupsaddsmb error

[nightcrawler]

Hi,

I hope you won't mind if I post here the question I've already posted on 2 other sites -- there's no answer for 2 days, and I've no idea of how to solve this, and it's urgent for me.

So I installed a CUPS 1.3.10 and Samba (3.3.8) PDC server on FreeBSD 7.2. File share works ok, printing works from CUPS web interface ok, and at least from one of the Win workstations, but now I wish to share the printer drivers, too.

So I installed the cups-samba port, made sure my [Printers] and [$print] sections are as suggested in the cupsaddsmb man page, copied the Win drivers for my printer to /usr/local/share/cups/drivers, added the root account to samba and tried to export the drivers to the samba share, but cupsaddsmb refuses to:

myserver# cupsaddsmb -U root -a -v
cupsaddsmb: No PPD file for printer "hplj6l" - Missing double quote on line 224!

Now, hplj6l is how I named my HP LaserJet 6L printer in CUPS. I installed it using a ppd file from linuxprinting.org (HP-LaserJet_6L-lj4dith.ppd). CUPS also seems to have put a file named hplj6l.ppd in /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/hplj6l.ppd. I tried to run 'cupstestppd' against the two files but they pass ok.
Tried to add the two files and hplj6p_4.ppd (a file from Windows driver cab) to /usr/local/share/cups/model, but no effect.

Now, where does cupsaddsmb look for the PPD file, and where does it get the funny "Missing double quote on line 224"? Could it be a bug? Any ideas of what's wrong here or how to get it work?

Thanks in advance, seriously.
