I'm closer now to isolating the problem. So far I have been able to make this work on all versions of Ubuntu with Gnome, but if Gnome installation is skipped, something is missing in the Wine access to the cups print engine. Tried turning off the print sharing on systems with Gnome and it did not stop Wine apps from printing. Something is blocking wine programs from printing and it does not seem to have anything to do with the general cups settings as such.
