Hi friends I just started using wine on my Linux-machine. Mostly because I want to switch finally from Windows to Linux on my computer at work. There is just one single application I want to "take with me" and that is "GraphPad Prism" (http://www.graphpad.com/prism/Prism.htm). So I installed wine0.9.20 on my Mandriva2007. Then I used wine to install Prism in its most recent version. Everythings fine, Prism starts, but I cant open any old file or even blank cheets. A quick google-research showed me that Graphpad knows the Problem (or a similar one (http://www.graphpad.com/faq/viewfaq.cfm?faq=815): -- Quote: Whenever you create a new file or open an existing one, Prism communicates with the printer driver to get information about page size and margins. A bug in a few printer drivers causes Prism to crash at this point. Prism can also crash if your default printer is a network printer that is not available. ... Also note that Prism 4 does need to find some printer driver. If you are running a computer that is not connected to any printer, that's OK, but you have to choose a printer driver anyway to make Prism 4 happy. You don't need a printer itself, just install and choose a driver (any one will do). -- Endquote So it seems, that Prism is running OK, but has a problem with the (missing) printerdriver. I tried Wordpad, which is printing quiet fine, so the build in driver is working, but Prism can't see it or something :-) Most of the tutorials in the net are describing how to print at all or to print with a special printer, but I couldn't find anything that describes how to show the emulated application a "windows"-printerdriver. I installed the driver for my printer (Brother HL-1430) via the driver-CD and the setup there, but that did not work. perhaps somebody here can point me i the right direction? thanks Rainer _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
