If you are using the Wine supplied version of notepad, then you are not
doing anything wrong. The Wine version of notepad simply does a poor job
of printing. Open the document in a Windows version of notepad or
wordpad under Wine, and it should print ok. Someone who knows how to
write Windows printing code needs to fix the Wine code.
