wine users - Sep 2005 - PSDRV_FindPrinterInfo Error, trying to use kprinter

I am running wine 20050725 under KDE/Debain/testing with binaries from 
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/ on the client in question. 

I am trying to print from QuickBooks 6 to a printer server (Brother HL1240) 
running cups 1.1.18. The client is accessing the printer from kprinter and
printing from the native Linux applications with no problem. 

When I try to print from QuickBooks I get this error:

err:psdrv:PSDRV_FindPrinterInfo Error 2 getting PPD file name for printer
'HL1240'

The server cupsd error log shows
D [19/Sep/2005:13:19:48 -0700] AcceptClient() 3 from 192.168.0.100:631.
D [19/Sep/2005:13:19:48 -0700] ReadClient() 3 POST / HTTP/1.1
D [19/Sep/2005:13:19:48 -0700] ProcessIPPRequest: 3 status_code=0

$lpstat -a
HL1240 accepting requests since Jan 01 00:00

I tried configuring conf and wini.ini files as dicussed in
www.deesconsulting.com/howtos/wine-kprinter.txt with no luck. 

I also tried placing the ppd file in the working directory from the Quickbooks
executable as well as in other areas, but get the same errors noted above. 

Thanks for any ideas.

Well I still couldn't get things to work i.e. to print to the network 
CUPS printer server - so I attached the printer directly to the client/
laptop via USB and ran Cups locally on the client. It worked immediately 
and I was able to configure the printer with the CUPS web interface
on localhost:631, setup the printer from Quickbooks, and printer from 
Quickbooks with no further problems.
