Summary: Can only print to the default CUPS printer from Visio 5 Professional Product: Wine Version: 1.3.6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: fitzcarraldo1@hotmail.com
I am using 64-bit (multilib) Sabayon Linux 2.6.36-sabayon kernel with CUPS 1.4.4-r2. I am using the Portage source package manager, and using Portage I have installed the 32-bit only version of WINE 1.3.6. It seems to work well.
There is no ~/.cups/lpoptions file, as I want to be able to change the default printer from the CUPS browser interface. I currently have 7 printers configured in CUPS (all but 2 networked), with one set as the default printer via the CUPS browser interface. Depending in which office I am at the time, I change the default printer using the CUPS browser interface.
When I want to print using a native Linux application, the application's Print window displays the correct CUPS default printer. If I select one of the other CUPS printers in the list of printers in the application's Print window, the application correctly prints to that printer.
When I want to print using a Windows Office 2007 application or Windows IrfanView 4.27 running with WINE, the Windows application's Print window displays the correct CUPS default printer. If I select one of the other CUPS printers in the list of printers in the application's Print window, the application correctly prints to that printer.
Another Windows application I am using with WINE is Visio 5 Professional, which works very well, albeit not perfectly. This version of Visio was released in 1998 or 1999 if I recall correctly (before Microsoft bought the Visio company).
When I want to print using Visio 5 Professional, the application's Print window displays the correct CUPS default printer. If I select that printer or any of the other printers in the list in the application's Print window, the application prints to the default CUPS printer. I.e. I cannot print to any printer other than the default CUPS printer.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I was experiencing this problem with _all_ the above-mentioned Windows applications before I upgraded WINE from 1.3.4 (and 1.3.5) to 1.3.6. You can read how I got to where I am now in the WineHQ forums thread 'Can only print to the default printer' (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=10198).
Although I can live with changing the default CUPS printer every time I want to print to a different printer from Visio 5 Professional, it would be nice if the functionality were the same as for the other Windows applications that I use.
Thank you.
