CUPS can handle directly attached printers, network printers and shared CUPS printers on another host. CUPS printers can also be shared transparently with Windows boxes via SAMBA. When you run a Windows program under Wine, the printer selection dialogue should show the list of CUPS printers with the default printer preselected. > I still believe is something in the way I put the printers in the > system config... > Check your CUPS setup and use the 'Printer Test' to make sure its set up correctly. CUPS is much easier to set up now than it used to be. The Gnome printer management system works pretty well. You can also check printer operation from a terminal window with a command like: ls | lpr which should list the contents of your current directory on the default printer or ls | lpr -P LJ5 where 'LJ5' is the name of a CUPS printer.
