wine users - Jun 2008 - Re: Printing /MYOB

Several months ago, I installed MYOB and everything seemed to be working.  Using
F8 kde.

Now I'm getting similar results as the above complaints.  I think this may
have happened after the updater installed updates.  Various tabs don't work
in the MYOB  and it's printing blank pages for receipts and invoices.  Other
printing from Myob seems to be ok.  Using HP network printer and cups.  Part of
the problem is the MYOB printing setup won't allow me to choose print to
plain paper, it wants to print to a myob form.

Other issues too!  Wine uninstaller won't uninstall programs.  removing the
.wine directory doesn't seem to remove the software info from the file
manager.  Removing Wine with the add/remove software function, still leaves Wine
in the file manager including the removed apps.  Then using Synaptic or Yumex
causes a failure during package reinstall.

We'd like to have our MYOB back, actually it's a little more urgent than
that.  Any idea as to when there might be a repair?

HI yonnie

That's very interesting. Do you know what version of wine worked? I just 
started trying on the 1.0-rc series, so I would be willing to go back 
and try an earlier version if you could give me an idea about which one 
functioned. At present I have it running in a vmware installation, but 
would like to recover the space that requires.
