            Bug ID: 48409
           Summary: EXCEL2003 prints to file, no error messages, file
                    found nowhere, OS offers no choice of file name or
                    location
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.0.3
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org

EXCEL2003 "prints to file" fine with no error messages, but the generated file
(name?) cannot be found anywhere.  

however: the OS does not ask the user to name the PDF file or to say where to
save the file.

the excel "printing dialog" does not show the usual choice "printer: PDF"
in the same machine CALC does not show the usual choice "printer: PDF" either,
but it "prints to file" fine after asking for the name and location of the PDF
file.
in another xubuntu (32bit) machine with wine, excel shows the choice "printer:
PDF", and the excel PDF goes to the user's xubuntu PDF folder...

FOUND a solution! (?)

sudo apt-get install cups-pdf


then "PDF" shows up as option in excel2003's printing dialog and if chosen a
PDF is generated and saved in the PDF folder....
