wine users - Sep 2005 - Printing in Wine 20050725

I have just reinstalled wine on my Debian Sid (unstable) system after several
years without it, in order to run a handful of Windows applications: IE, Lotus
Notes, ...  I use CUPS to support printing under Linux, and several years ago
had no real problems printing from Windows applications running under Wine. 
However, I am now unable to print from any of them using Wine release 20050725. 
When I try to print, either the application hangs or I do not see any available
printers inside the printer selection list in the Print command.
 
I have the Debian packages wine, wine-utils, libwine, libwine-print, cupsys,
cupsys-client, cupsys-driver-gimpprint, and cupsys-driver-gutenprint.  While I
normally install binary packages, I tried compiling wine from source just in
case, but the home-built version had the same behavior.
 
I have noticed that people regularly mention printing problems on this mailing
list, but haven't come across a case that sounds like this one.  Given all
the changes in 20050725 with the new winecfg tool, is there some 'secret
sauce' that is now needed to enable printing from wine?
 
Thx in advance,
FWY

make sure you have cups-devel installed when you
compile from source.  Otherwise, I'm not sure what is
wrong.
