wine users - Apr 2004 - No default printer found

Dear all,

I have troubles to get the printing working in wine.
I have downloaded  Wine 20040309 and installed from sratch
with ./tools/wineinstall
Everthing seems to work fine except the printning:
notepad gives:
fixme:commdlg:PRINTDLG_SetUpPrinterListComboW Can't find '(null)' in
printer
list so trying to find default
fixme:commdlg:PRINTDLG_SetUpPrinterListComboW Can't find default printer in
printer list

Word2000 gives: "No Printers installed blabla..."

I have searched on the net and in the archives but I can not find anything
that works (or I am doing wrong things...)

My conf file is:
...skip...
[parallelports]
"Lpt1" = "/dev/lp0"

[ppdev]
;; key:  io-base of the emulated port
;; value : parport-device{,timeout}
;; timeout for auto closing an open device ( not yet implemented)
;"378" = "/dev/parport0"
;"278" = "/dev/parport1"
;"3bc" = "/dev/parport2"

[spooler]
"FILE:" = "tmp.ps"
"LPT1:" = "|lpr"
"LPT2:" = "|gs -sDEVICE=bj200 -sOutputFile=/tmp/fred -q -"
"LPT3:" = "/dev/lp3"

[ports]
;"read" = "0x779,0x379,0x280-0x2a0"
;"write" = "0x779,0x379,0x280-0x2a0"

..skip...

I tried to modify win.ini by adding:

[devices]
hpdeskjet3500=WINEPS,LPR:hpdeskjet3500

[windows]
device=hpdeskjet3500,WINEPS,LPR:hpdeskjet3500

but that does not change anything.

/etc/printcap contains:
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
# will be lost.
hpdeskjet3500|
hpdeskjet3500:rm=cable-62-205-69-113.upc.chello.be:rp=hpdeskjet3500:


I am using mandrake 10, and as far as I can see CUPS is installed en running
fine (as far as I can see because I am new to linux)

Any help is welcome

I have the same printing problem that Jean-Francois Waigner has.
I run wine in a mandrake 9.2 Linux box, with CUPS working really fine.
I see that many windows programs run fine using wine but none of them can use 
the printers.
I looked for hints, I read the howtos, I tred to RTFM, but everywhere is 
written that there is no configuration to do, beacause CUPS printing are 
automagically configured in Wine.
It' not true, as I see that something has to be configured.

Where i can find correct instructions for printing in WIne?

Any help is welcome
