Can I use Windows printer drivers in Wine? Native printer drivers are not supported. At one time Wine supported 16bit native drivers but that was long ago. Wine uses the printers (and other devices) installed in your operating system. For the most part if you don't have the device installed on your OS then wine can't use it. <\quote> Pity.

The following sentence after your quoted text, suggested looking at "ReactOS", which I did... and found it rather interesting, I think I'll attempt to install this now too, albeit alpha :-) -- dee _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
