Summary: Can't print -- CUPS printers not detected Product: Wine Version: 20050211 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: matt_shepherd@yahoo.com

In regards to CUPS printing, I think either there's a bug or the documentation is wrong.
.../wine-20050211/documentation/printing.sgml says: "If you are using CUPS, you do not need to configure .ini or registry entries, everything is autodetected."
Ok, so I use CUPS, but nothing appears to be autodetected. "wine notepad" doesn't show any printer names in the drop down box. My cups setup is working fine with all non-wine applications.
Random stuff about my system: ----------------------------- wine-20050211 (built from the .tar.gz using configure && make depend && make && make install) cups-1.1.22-0.rc1.8, cups-libs-1.1.22-0.rc1.8 kernel-2.6.10 Pretty much a standard FedoraCore3 system
Contents of /etc/printcap: -------------------------- lp|Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x:rm=mycomputer.mydomain.test:rp=lp: ps7960|ps7960:rm=mycomputer.mydomain.test:rp=ps7960:
Can you suggest a workaround for this? I couldn't find anything in the documentation that seemed appropriate.
Thanks, Matt
