[Wine] [Ubuntu 10.10/wine 1.3.16] Nonexistent printers in pulldown
The applications I run under wine (e.g., Quicken 2007, notepad) list "nonexistent" printers in their printer selection pulldown lists. Of the eight or ten listed, only two are really configured on my system. It appears that the wine list contains residue from previous installations / deinstallations of printers, which I had done via the cups configuration tool (system-config-printer 1.2.3) My cups config file shows just two printers, as does http://localhost:631/printers/. My non-wine apps show just those two printers. Can someone point me to where wine finding the "bogus" printers? If it's some editable source, can I just delete the entries there? Thanks, Rob L

I've learned a bit more about this problem... 1. The wine-recognized printers are recorded in the wine registry - I can find them (and associated ports) via regedit. What I haven't figured out is what to delete in the registry: When I delete all references to the printers/port I consider nonexistent, I end up messing up wine's print capability overall (message to the effect that the printing system is inactive, will record the message next time I try it...). 2. It does seem that printer additions (via system-config-printer 1.2.3) are reflected in the wine registry, but not printer deletions (ditto) are not. I suppose I should submit that as a bug report (but I don't know if it's a general issue, or something peculiar to me). Thx, RL
