Hi, I've been using a legacy Windows 3x application, WordStar for Windows, with Wine for a long time. I recently installed a beta release of Wine compiled for Mandriva Linux (2006.0) - 0.9.22, and a number of problems have occurred with the program. The most critical problem is that WordStar for Windows won't print (it printed from the alpha Wines). I get the error message: "No printer is active. Please use the Windows Control Panel to make a printer active." The win.ini file shows all the printers installed in /etc/printcap correctly and indicates that the printer (which is turned on and local) is the default and active printer. Other programs, such as MS Word, print correctly from Wine. Although I have a "Windows Control Panel," it doesn't provide anything about printers. Another problem is that WSWin does not enter my Windows truetype fonts correctly. It gets the font format and size correct, but the cursor does not move over and it ends up typing every letter on top of the previous letter. The FIXMEs are: fixme:font:WineEngCreateFontInstance Untranslated charset 253 fixme:font:get_nearest_charset returning DEFAULT_CHARSET face->fs.fsCsb[0] = 00000000 file = /home/diana/.wine/dosdevices/c:/WSWIN/WSFONTF.FON fixme:hook:SetWindowsHookEx16 System-global hooks (2) broken in Win16 fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(4116) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(4104) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(4107) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(24) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(24) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(18) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(256) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(257) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(258) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(259) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(512) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(768) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(769) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(770) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(771) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(2048) - not supported. fixme:ole:OleRegisterClientDoc16 (WSWin 2.0,Untitled-1,...): stub What do you suggest I try? BTW, this Wine is otherwise doing an excellent job of running a number of Windows programs and games on my systems (all currently Mandriva Linux 2006.0). I need the Windows programs to be able to access quite a few large archives of user files and except for the recent problems with WordStar, Wine has worked better (fewer problems with the software) than Windows for running the applications.
