wine users - Dec 2011 - Re: [Ubuntu 10.10/wine 1.3.16] Nonexistent printers in pulldown

It seems this is general..at least I am having the same issues.
I guess there are not many people printing from wine applications..

Did you make any progress in getting the entries deleted?

The entries are in at least the following registry files:
~/.wine/user.reg
~/.wine/system.reg

I can confirm that removing all corresponding lines from both files has been
working for me :-).
Just parse through the files searching for the old printer names.
