I am a wine newbie so forgive me if this was already answered, but my Google foo is not good enough to solve the problem.
I just installed wine version 1.2.2 on Mac OS 10.6.6 using Macports. I also installed gdiplus using winetricks. I am not able to see any of my Mac printers on Notepad's Print Dialog. The only printer visible is "Microsoft XPS Document Writer".
I have tried to diagnose this problem as follows:
1) I can go to http://localhost:631/printers and manage CUPS.
Can you 'see' your printers at this location? You should get back a
list of installed printers, even if they are networked. If they are not
there, then you will have to install them through Apple -> System
Preferences -> Print & Fax.
In my case, I have no installed printers, so none appear there.
2) nc localhost 631, followed by entering text, returns HTML with a 405 error.
3) I ran the command: cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups
4) I tried to Add Printers in the wine environment, but I can't figure out how. The Print dialog doesn't have an "Add Printer" button. The Control Panel doesn't have a "Printers and Faxes" applet.
This does not work. Your printer HAS to be available through CUPS.
