Summary: Raw printing does not work Product: Wine Version: 1.1.18 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: giulioo@gmail.com
System: Ubuntu 8.04 Wine 1.1.18 (binary from WineHQ APT Repository)
I googled, asked on the web forum and searched bugzilla, but no one had a definitive answer about this issue, ie a way to get raw printing working from Wine.
From here http://wiki.winehq.org/Printing it's not clear it it's considered a
bug.
I thought to open a bug about this so developers can definitively say whether this is actually a bug or if the agreement is that it's up to the Linux side to do something about this (convert back from PS to ascii or something).
Raw printing is useful for those applications which expect the printer to receive their pre-formatted data as is: apps which output PCL directly, label printer software, ....
Steps to reproduce the problem: - Create a raw printer queue in Linux/ubuntu which points to a NON PS printer (ie: pure PCL or text printer). - Run $ echo ABCD | lpr -P raw_queue and see that the printer prints ABCD. - Then run $ wine notepad.exe Type ABCD Print to the raw_queue and see that the printer prints the PostScript data produced by Wine even if the Linux queue is defined as raw.

--- Comment #1 from butraxz@gmail.com 2012-05-21 14:01:44 CDT --- This bug has not been updated for two years. Is this still an issue i current (1.5.4) or newer wine ?

--- Comment #2 from Giulio giulioo@gmail.com 2012-05-24 03:54:49 CDT --- I wanted to try with the latest and greatest, so I installed ubuntu 12.04, added the WineHQ PPA repository, but wine fails to start:
go@ubuntu:~$ wine --version wine-1.5.4
go@ubuntu:~$ wine notepad.exe wine: created the configuration directory '/home/go/.wine' err:rundll32:wWinMain Unable to load L"setupapi" wine: configuration in '/home/go/.wine' has been updated. err:module:attach_process_dlls "winspool.drv" failed to initialize, aborting err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe" failed, status c0000005 $
Will try again when wine gets updated in the repo.

--- Comment #4 from Sander in 't Hout sander@inthout.eu --- On Wine 2.19 this is still an issue. I can't get Wine to not Postscript-ify my print job.
Any workaround would be great!
