I am a wine newbie so forgive me if this was already answered, but my Google foo is not good enough to solve the problem. I just installed wine version 1.2.2 on Mac OS 10.6.6 using Macports. I also installed gdiplus using winetricks. I am not able to see any of my Mac printers on Notepad's Print Dialog. The only printer visible is "Microsoft XPS Document Writer". I have tried to diagnose this problem as follows: 1) I can go to http://localhost:631/printers and manage CUPS. 2) nc localhost 631, followed by entering text, returns HTML with a 405 error. 3) I ran the command: cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups 4) I tried to Add Printers in the wine environment, but I can't figure out how. The Print dialog doesn't have an "Add Printer" button. The Control Panel doesn't have a "Printers and Faxes" applet. Any suggestions on how to resolve and/or diagnose would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks for the help!

You should get back a list of installed printers, even if they are networked. If they are not there, then you will have to install them through Apple -> System Preferences -> Print & Fax. In my case, I have no installed printers, so none appear there.> 2) nc localhost 631, followed by entering text, returns HTML with a 405 error. > > 3) I ran the command: cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups > > 4) I tried to Add Printers in the wine environment, but I can't figure out how.

If not, make it so. MartinI believe they are published. I have a Ubuntu system on the same LAN, and I can see the Mac's printers in the Ubuntu System/Administration/Printing panel when I click "Add Printer". They are identified as "Remote CUPS printer under DNS-SD". Is that correct?
