Hi all,
I have installed various versions of wine (built from source) on various
computers, all running Debian Sarge or Etch with cups. Printing works fine
apart from some installations where applications running under wine use the
whole page instead of allowing a margin. As a result, the edges of the
document are missed. I can't find any pattern to this. Even re-installing the
same version of wine on the same machine produces different results. Can
anyone tell me where Wine gets page size information or give me any clues?
Wine does read and use the ppd file for the selected printer. The ppd
files (located in /etc/cups/ppd on Fedora) are plain text, so you could
experiment by making changes to them and see what happens in Wine. It
looks like Wine reads and uses the "ImageableArea" parameter, so that
would probably be the one to modify. If you want to look at the related
Wine source, see the files in dlls/wineps.drv (in particular, init.c and
ppd.c).
I don't know how installing the same version of Wine on the same machine
would cause different results. In the ~/.wine/system.reg file (also
plain text), search for "Printers". There should be a
System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print\\Printers\\ section for each
printer. Included is a "Default DevMode" entry, which has some encoded
data. I don't know what is encoded, but perhaps it includes margin info.
