printing with wine

by Ricahrd Canada

Does anybody have complete instructions on how to set up a printer to use in wine? I have tried all of the suggestions with add entries to the wine.conf file, using the internal driver, etc. I cannot seem to get wine to see any printers. I use lprng through a print server, so I do not have any local printers attached. Can anyone help?? Richard

Active debugging is probably best done with a > compilable source tree at hand. I get the impression it's painful to do a Windows build of AbiWord even on Windows. The thought of doing a winelib build had occurred to me, but I don't know if I have the energy. I am poking around their source tree trying to learn how they space their lines, and am looking at the Wine source tree to learn what trace options would be most interesting. I found "trace+font" last night. So far I don't understand enough to feel like I'm getting traction, but maybe if I keep plugging away... - Dan -- "I have seen the future, and it licks itself clean." -- Bucky Katt

You have to add an entry [wine] "ShellLinker" = "/path/to/wineshelllinnk/wineshelllink" to make it work. It could probably use some testing and verification on KDE 2.2 (you can test it standalone very easily). Someday when you want to test a decibel meter, ask me how I feel about the changes in menu files between KDE 1.x, 2.0, 2.2, Gnome 1.2, Gnome 1.4, and then ask me how I *reallY* feel about the Mandrake menu system <g>.

Actually Caldera and SuSE started an effort to unify the menu system handling like half a year ago, possibly across the LSB side. I am afraid the effort sickered into the sands of the time. :/ Ciao, Marcus

Maybe not for all the InstallShield versions: it worked for me for the game "I-War" (quite old... DirectX 5 I think), with KDE 2.1 Or it could be that the installer crash doesn't help in getting the icon loaded... :-) I didn't had time to look into this feature. Ciao, Roberto.

Does anybody know how to generate files in SLTG format? Is there an old version of mktypelib or something? If anybody has anything useful about the format could they let me know. Thanks, Huw.

Curiously (on the subject of InstallSheild) I have just successfully installed the latest (5.0.8) Lotus Notes client on a wine system (latest tarball) and the new Lotus installer is InstallSheild based. It ran perfectly EXCEPT that the program would not terminate. The Lotus installer takes over the whole screen, and that went away, but wine never returned to the command line. As far as I could see there were no messages about locks or anything. The only error message the installer came up with was a dialog saying "AddFolderIcon" failed. I had also understood that there was now a facility to add programs that would have installed themselves into the Windows startup menu into the KDE menu structure. I am running KDE 2.2 from CVS if it matters. But nothing appeared. Had I understood wrong, or do I need to try to do some debugging?

Allright, but the most important question remains: who will volunteer to reverse engineer these SLTG typelibs and make Wine able to read them, so I can concentrate on the actual COM marshaling stuff (which is pretty hard enough as it is), so we can finally get those @#&% InstallShields up?
