No distortion and the colors are good too. > Can any other Wine app use the printer via CUPS? If not, take a look at the CUPS (print server) set-up. It should allow "Publish shared printers connected to this system" and "Allow printing from the internet" - this is copied from the Fedora 15/Gnome 3 Basic Server Settings panel, so if you're running a different distro things may differ. Reasoning: there are two ways that Linux uses to talk to a printer. One is via the lpr utility which is/was the default way to send print jobs to the CUPS spooler. The other way is via the IPP net protocol. This is what Wine uses and on many distros is disabled by default. The other way to see if the IPP protocol is enabled or not is to run the command "nmap localhost". If port 631 appears in the list of open ports, IPP is enabled. Martin
