So far only one person has signed up with gsoc to do the win32 print driver under linux...
I found out why I couldn't build ddiwrapper earlier - it builds against latest wine now; the reason was that I was ripping from opensuse/suse src rpm, and I did not look at any of the bundled patch, and there is a bundled patch which does that. The authoritative site for ddiwrapper seems to be: ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/uli/ddiwrapper/ Although it is quite difficult to find, since most search engine gives various publibc part of suse/novell. I think the src.rpm bundled patch needs to go in properly as a new release, really. (uli@suse.de is the author of ddiwrapper).
