I posted the same message on wine-user list , but got no help. Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me on this issue. I use a windows program that print direct to the printer, but it uses the printer from the printer list, it doesn't use the port directly. On Windows, to use the program I have to install a "Generic / Only Text" printer to work. The program runs on wine without problems. The only problem is to print. I created a raw printer in CUPS, but when I select the printer in the program, wine still uses the WinePS driver and generate a PS, giving me an error on the printer, of course. I tried to install a driver tty.drv on wine but couldn't get it to work. Is there a way to disable WinePS ? or another way to get the program to print ? Thanks Andre Carvalho

I'll join, and add this. I'm on Suse 9.2 Pro, wine-20041203, and the only printers I have are on the network. I can print fine through any native linux apps, but if I try to print through Wine, it says there are no printers. Maybe the problems are related somehow?

I think that you need CUPS instaled, and if you build wine from sources, you need cups-devel.

Ah, I'm seeing that libgnomecups-devel is not installed (I don't see a cups-devel). I will install that and give the recompile a go! :) Thanks!

Installing libgnomecups-devel didn't work; so, I had to "google for" a cups-devel binary. (Really, I don't know why my Suse 9.2 didn't offer it.) So, installing it, and recompiling DID THE TRICK! :) Thank you! Hiji ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

cups-devel is only on the SUSE 9.2 DVD ... that might be the reason you did not find it. Btw, feel free to use the Wine packages I provide for SUSE on SourceForge.net. Using these is easier then compiling for yourself :) Ciao, Marcus
