I have two Ubuntu Linux installations, one 9.04 and one 9.10, both with WINE 1.1.31. I have a networked printer, an HP Photosmart C-5100. Aps in WINE on the 9.04 machine print perfectly. Nothing prints in WINE using the 9.10 install of Ubuntu. when I check the printer setup I see this: STATUS: Dummy State TYPE: Dummy Type WHERE: Dummy Location COMMENT: Dummy Remark Oh, I can print fine with 9.10 apps. Anyone have an idea what's going on our what I need to look at? Dick

On earlier Fedora releases these were on by default but now they are off by default. Enabling them is safe if you have the firewall enabled and/or you are using an ADSL router with NAT capability, which most have. WINE connects to the printer using a socket and the IPP protocol, so those options must be on for WINE to print. Many native apps print by piping the output through the lpr utility, which is why they work but WINE won't unless you change the cups server settings. Martin

I don't have any idea. I see if I can find out. Thanks, Dick
I found this in the Printing area under System>Administration>Printing: hp:/net/Photosmart_C5100_series?ip=192.168.1.3 That is the correct IP for the printer. Dick
