wine users - Aug 2009 - NET USE ?

Hi,

I'm trying to access a remote fiscal printer under Wine. I'm wondering
if it's possible to use the 'net use' command from Windows (but
under wine) to map the remote printer or if it's possible to simple mount
the remote printer (dunno how as mount.cifs gives no clue about how to mount
print shares) under 'dosdevices/unc'


anyone ?
Thanks in advance.

Use cups.

CUPS doesn't work cuz fiscal printers need direct access to the serial port
(i.e: grab I/O stuff etc..)

any other ideas ?

Does the printer appear in the CUPS listing?

No and No.  NET USE is not supported and UNC devices are not supported directly
by Wine.

It is not physically possible to access a printer under Linux as a non-root user
and Wine should not be run as root for security reasons.
