Wine Log with lpoptions set (wrong default printer)

I am running Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 (LMDE6 based on Debian/bookworm) with
a Cinnamon DE and have the following printers configured:

  user(a)LMDE6 ~ % groups
  user users

  % lpstat -v
  device for Brother_MFC_9332CDW: implicitclass://Brother_MFC_9332CDW/
  device for HP_OfficeJet_Pro_7740_series_5940AF:
implicitclass://HP_OfficeJet_Pro_7740_series_5940AF/
  device for Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series_SEC30CDA7C6D511:
implicitclass://Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series_SEC30CDA7C6D511/

A server default printer is set:

  % lpstat -d
  system default destination: Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series_SEC30CDA7C6D511

And I have the following `~/.cups/lpoptions` file:

  % cat .cups/lpoptions
  Dest Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series_SEC30CDA7C6D511

When calling notepad with Wine, the wrong default printer is shown
(preselected) (in my case the Brother_MFC_9332CDW) in the print options (File:
Print...):

  % WINEDEBUG=+winspool,+tid,+pid,+process,+commdlg wine notepad 2>&1 | tee
wine-lpoptions-set.log

If I delete the `~/.cups/lpoptions` file, the correct default printer is shown
(preselected) (Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series_SEC30CDA7C6D511):

  % WINEDEBUG=+winspool,+tid,+pid,+process,+commdlg wine notepad 2>&1 | tee
wine-lpoptions-unset.log

I could not figure out who, what or why did create and set the option in
`~/.cups/lpoptions`, but I know the Samsung printer was replaced and CUPS
automatically detected the new printer and switched the default printer (to the
Brother) at some time before.
I assume the user did try to change the default printer withing the GUI, but
maybe ended up changing the lpoptions file?

I later changed the system default printer (from Brother to Samsung) and
noticed this problem with Wine.

I am not a CUPS expert, but as far I could research ``Dest
Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series_SEC30CDA7C6D511`` itself looks like an invalid
or at least incomplete option.
Nevertheless, this should not have an effect on an application in Wine.

I am on Wine version wine-9.19 and can not upgrade to a new version as this
version is the latest version I was able to run Access Runtime 2010 (where I
actually need the correct default printer to be set).

P.s. I only can add one attachment (wine-lpoptions-set.log), if you need
wine-lpoptions-unset.log for comparison, I can upload it separately as well.

The most striking change I could identify is:

  0118:011c:trace:winspool:SetDefaultPrinterW (L"Brother_MFC_9332CDW") 

vs 

  0118:011c:trace:winspool:SetDefaultPrinterW
(L"Samsung_M332x_382x_402x_Series_SEC30CDA7C6D511")

I can not see why the other printer was chosen.
