wine users - Apr 2006 - Use of KDEs kprinter as printer device?

Hi,
I'd like to be able to use KDEs kprinter (kprinter --stdin) as alternative 
printer for my wine driven apps (e.g. winword). What I like especially is the 
fine working PDF printer and the feature to attach the PDF immediately to an 
email.

I tried already the cups-pdf printer. But this driver doesn't create valid
PDF
for my MS WORD document. KPDF and Acrobat are at least not able to read the 
generated PDFs.

I found some descriptions on how to add a special KDE Printer to wine. But I 
have the impression, that all of them reflect only outdated wine versions.

Do I have to compile from source, to switch off the autoconfiguration of 
printers from the CUPS list? Or is there a compile time or runtime option to 
get CUPS printers AND some manual printers like "KDE Printer" into
wine?

I use:
+ Kubuntu Breezy with current updates
+ kde 3.5.2
+ wine 0.9.10
+ winetools


Thanks,
Achim

This works for me, I am using wine 0.9.10 (use the new method).
