Hi Don, I compile wine from source and use CUPS. If the CUPS devel package is available, all (native Linux) printers should be available under wine too. Regards, Stefan Am Sonntag, 9.

My printer is listed in /etc/cups/printers.conf and I can print from programs running outside wine, so I assume cups is working ok. I must be missing some setup internal to wine. I am using wine 20041201. The programs I'm trying to run under wine say that no printer is installed and when I go to the printer setup in, for example quickbooks, it tells me to go to windows and install the printer. I checked some other programs running under wine and I can't print from them also. Don
Hi,
WineTools is now available as RPM for easier installing. For this you
need Xdialog installed. Get WineTools here:

This is untouched from the 20041201 source tree and as you can see not commented out. I suspect that LPT1 should have a different incantation. Could you give the command to me, if that's the problem? [spooler] "FILE:" = "tmp.ps" "LPT1:" = "|lpr" "LPT2:" = "|gs -sDEVICE=bj200 -sOutputFile=/tmp/fred -q -" "LPT3:" = "/dev/lp3" (Bill, I haven't tried standing on a chair and reciting poetry - yet :-) Don

Installing cups-devel and rebuilding wine did the trick and printing from wine now works.
