I recently installed Wine version 1.3.18 under Macintosh OS X 10.6.6. The only
problem I've encountered so far is with printing. As an initial step,
I'm trying to just get Notepad to print some unformated text, but have been
unsuccessful. I get the following error message:
"Before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or
printing a document you must install a printer. Please install one and
retry."
and my terminal output is:
"fixme:winspool:WINSPOOL_EnumPrintersW We don't handle
PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS".
The printer in question is a Lexmark E260dn on the office network. I set it to
use the generic.ppd from the wine library, it's visible from the CUPS web
interface, and I can send it print jobs from lpr command in the Mac terminal.
I've confirmed that the package I used (from Mac Ports) was set to compile
with CUPS enabled.
Based on the wine documentation, I was unclear if I needed to map the printer
device file in the Mac userland to an lpt port in the Wine dosdevice directory.
I tried using the printer IP address and the URI but that did not change the
situation. Clearly I'm missing a fairly basic step to my setup, but I
can't seem to find the correct article on documentation to help me remedy
the problem. Any advice or wisdom that people could provide would be greatly
appreciated.
