Hello, I have an app that is working great with wine, have used it since wine 0.9.46 and has been excellent over time, with less dependencies to native dlls, I am now down to the last one msvcrt.dll I am using the app in several Ubuntu versions, 7.10, 8.04,7.04,8.10 and wine 1.0 to 1.1.9 The app works fine in all respects but I have been informed that now it does not like to print. I have tested wine notepad and it prints fine on the same printer. My app does nothing and outputs the ff: fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtDeviceMode Mode DM_UPDATE. Just do the same as DM_COPY fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(25) - not supported. lpr: printer-: unknown printer I know the printer exists and is recognized by wine notepad. Can anybody help?

The way I understand it, WINEPREFIX allows simulation of a "2nd" Windows instance. Is this correct? Also, what is the connection with the printer not printing Will try the regression, but to be honest I have never done any regression before. I was thinking maybe I just missed a setting, since the 0.9.46 version is part of the official Ubuntu repository and the latest is from WineHQ Is there a setting I should look for? Thanks for the replies.
