--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Chris,
unfortunately your Wine 1.6.2 is too old (even if it's the last available stable version).
The app suffers from multiple bugs and won't work even with latest Wine 1.7.22.
The biggest hurdle (even if all bugs get fixed which is very unlikely in near future): you require the label printer to be recognized properly by Linux first.
If the vendor doesn't provide a native printer driver for Linux or the Linux kernel doesn't have builtin support you are out of luck and Wine can't help you here (Wine is not an operating system, hardware driver support is out of scope). Your best bet would be a VirtualBox "Windows" machine with USB pass-through.
The app requires at least .NET Framework 3.5 installed (Mono won't work due to several things, WPF 3.x at foremost).
-> clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX + 'winetricks -q dotnet35sp1'
You could still upgrade to recent Wine 1.7.x series, preferably Wine 1.7.21/22. If you don't know how to upgrade Wine (http://www.winehq.org/download) seek help in WineHQ user forums (http://forum.winehq.org/).
