wine users - Mar 2007 - Printing via Cups uses lpr ??

Hi everybody,

since I got printing working with wine 0.9.15 I just upgraded to 0.9.20
on a Debian etch system.
I got libwine-cups installed, and I can print from notepad and some
other applications, but not what I expected.
All I get is a printout that looks like this:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
                           %%Creator: Wine PostScript Driver

            %%Title: Whatever

And dozens of blank pages ...

Looks like wine uses lpr for printing while it should use cups instead.

Any ideas why ?

I tried to install apsfilter, but couldn't get it to work because there
is no driver for my HP PSC1510 (at least I couldn't find one).

Thanks for your help
Chris

Wine prints using the command "lpr". Normally, if you are using CUPS, 
lpr will simply be a symbolic link to the CUPS equivalent, which on my 
system is /usr/bin/lpr.cups. But I don't know specifically how it is 
done on Debian.
