I personally haven't had much of an issue with printers in Wine for the past year or so. IMHO, the trick is: 1. setup your printers in CUPS 2. Make sure you have the cups-devel package installed 3 Build from source. If wine isn't compiled with CUPS, you won't automatically see printers. If you're using a binary package, it could be that CUPS wasn't compiled in, or maybe some version incompatibility or something. Try that. Rick On Wed, 2003-03-26 at 05:56, Alan Bort wrote: > hum...
