I'm somewhat new to wine on my Mac so I read the wineHQ wiki (http://wiki.winehq.org/Printing) and searched the forums but didn't come up with anything which I saw was an answer. I am running 1 specific app through darwine on my mac and when I try to print it says there are no printers. I saw references to something called cups-pdf but that looks like it's just a virtual printer. I need to be able to print to real printers from inside wine. Is there some special config I have to set up? Something I need to enable? I'm a bit lost at this point.

The printing system used by your Mac is called CUPS. cups-pdf is a driver that interfaces between the pdf print system installed on your Mac and the CUPS print system so you can print pdf files from programs running in Wine.

How do I publish the print services? I modified cups to accept internet print jobs (turned on "Share printer connected to this system and Allow printing from the Internet). I'm on a Mac.

I modified cups to accept internet print jobs (turned on "Share printer connected to >this system and Allow printing from the Internet).First question: Can you access a native Mac program and 'see' the printers? Second question: Where did you get your copy of Wine for Mac from? Further assistance is pending the answer to these two questions. James McKenzie
