  Log:
  finally! updated the CUPS windows driver installation portion thanks to spanky/vapier/mike frysinger's tip on the cups-windows package. i'll still leave the ancient package in my devspace though in case we need to go into cvs history and restore the old pain-in-the-butt manual installation procedure. bug 184473

+This HOWTO uses the CUPS drivers for Windows. Install them as shown:

-<pre caption="Extract the drivers and run the install">
-# <i>tar -xzf cups-samba-5.0rc2.tar.gz</i>
-# <i>cd cups-samba-5.0rc2</i>
-<comment>(Only use this script if CUPS resides in /usr/share/cups)</comment>

-<path>cups-samba.ss</path> is a TAR archive containing three files:
-<path>cups5.hlp</path>, <path>cupsdrvr5.dll</path> and
-<path>cupsui5.dll</path>. These are the actual driver files.
-</p>
-
-<warn>
-The script <c>cups-samba.install</c> may not work for all *nixes (i.e. FreeBSD)
-because almost everything which is not part of the base system is installed
-somewhere under the prefix <path>/usr/local/</path>. This seems not to be the
-case for most things you install under GNU/Linux.  However, if your CUPS
-installation is somewhere other than <path>/usr/share/cups/</path> see the
-example below.

-<p>
-Suppose your CUPS installation resides under
-<path>/usr/local/share/cups/</path>, and you want to install the drivers there.
-Do the following:
