I had the same experience with the following observations:
- the entries were in ./wine/WIN.INI. Wine added some stuff there; I
don't know if this is because I'm using codeweavers.
- I had to add a ppd section to the config file
- wine is anal in what printer names it except. Out of the following
printcap (based on LPRng). It only accepts the descriptive name,
e.g.,
astershaven||HP Laserjet 1200:\
HP Laserjet 1200 from the following line. And it will not accept
the name Default from the following enty
lp||Default:\
:tc=.server:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:router=/sbin/choose-printer-from-IP:
probably because it is not a real printer. And nor could I get it
to accept the following entry
asbestos||Asbestos:\
:tc=.server:\
:lp=|/sbin/ssh-lpr achilles.linearity.org turtle:
perhaps because it is not a standard port.
But when I accepted this I could get printing to work.
