Then I am not really sure. I even tried adding a class in CUPS, and that 
seems to work fine.

Did you try printing from another application?

You showed the contents of quite a few files, but not the [devices] 
section of C:/windows/win.ini (yes, Wine does use this).

Everything looks good to me, so I don't know what else to look at except 
to try another app. Wine's notepad can select a printer and print... 
okay, well it prints poorly, but it does print. If that also crashes 
when you try to select a printer, then at least one more variable is 
eliminated. Seems to me like a quick and easy test...
