wine users - May 2008 - Printing /MYOB

Hi all
I have a problem since installing MYOB(14.1) on wine on a gentoo AMD-64 
box using kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r7. I have Wine 1.0-rc1 installed into a 
32-bit chroot.

MYOB runs acceptably, the only problem being selecting items in 
sub-menus, which cannot be done at this stage. I can get around this by 
removing everything from the "Forms" folder except my customised
invoice
form.

However, I cannot print the invoice from MYOB and this is a 
show-stopper. I have cups installed into the chroot and can print a test 
page from notepad under wine, so it appears the problem is at a higher 
level than that. Printer is a Samsung 4521 on a usb port. Unfortunately 
the print dialogue doesn't offer a "Print to file" option as a
work around.

I've attached a cups log output, if anyone can help. If there is some 
other wine-specific logging, I am happy to look at that, but haven't 
found any yet.

If I get this working I could blow away the vmware Windows install I use 
currently and which is taking up several GB of space on my hard drive.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Russell

I'm by no means an expert in this, but from the cups log it looks to me like
cups thinks it printed the job successfully. What exactly happens with your
printer when you try to print--does anything come out at all? Does the light
blink to indicate it's receiving data?

There is a cups backend called cups-pdf that prints to a PDF file. I've used
it with Word 2003, so it definitely works Wine. That could be a workaround for
you.

Turns out there's an open bug for this:

You should add your info to that bug report.
