OK. This can be found there:

"5.11.2.1.3. Installation of *other* printers

You do not need to do this if the above 2 sections apply, only if you
have a special printer."

And I really did not bother myself with this section because  5.11.2.1.2
is about "Installation of LPR /etc/printcap based printers", though it
did not work... (OK, there is a bit difference using LPRng: the
multiline printer definitions in the printcap file needn't be contain '\'
in the end of each lines. So LPRng understand LPR (or lpd?) (old)style
printcap but not vice versa.)

Anyway... the lines below, or section 5.11.2.1.3 is the solution for me.

Now, I have problem with generated PS file: some special Hungarian
letters ([ouOU]doubleacute), which appear correctly on the display, are
missing from the PS output. (I tested only for M$ Times New Roman,
installed by msttcorefonts. From OpenOffice.org, I have no problem to
print these letters.)

Does it depend on the PS driver of wine or on what?

Thanks again your fine help,
