Printing problem; RHEL3U1 (CUPS) with 20031118

[Bill Medland]

(Yes, I know 20031118 is a little old)

Anyone any ideas what is going on here or any simple tests I can do?

I am trying to get our company's software running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
3 Update 1.

I am using the wine-20031118-1rh8winehq.i686.rpm

I am printing to a SMB printer elsewhere on the computer.
I can print the test page from the printconfgui
I can print a text file from the command line (lp /etc/passwd)

I cannot print from notepad; nothing seems to happen

I cannot print from our application; I get the error:

lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable

(I'll try the 20040408 when I can actually download it, but I don't expect it 
to change)

(I would try changing to LPRng but of course RHEL3 doesn't seem to include it)

Anyone any ideas?

I'm pretty sure you want to take the rh9 wine srpm and rebuild it on
RHEL 3 U1. RHL9 is the ancestor of RHEL3.

Bother; and I was hoping I wouldn't have to rebuild!!
(For the record, the RH8 binary works better than the RH9 one)

Wine expects to print with lpr and the corresponding syntax. Can you 
print on the command line with lpr instead of lp?

Then the next test is that Wine expects to be able to print a postscipt 
file via lpr, so the next thing to try is printing a postscript file via 
lpr.

Hmm, and is printconfgui something other than CUPS, I take it?

You might want to post the contents of /etc/printcap, windows/win.ini, 
and the sections of ~/.wine/system.reg that begin with:
[System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers

Yep.  /usr/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps

Sorry; I guess I was being lazy.  No.  RHEL uses CUPS (and they appear to have 
dropped LPRng so I can't try that which is my usual next step).  By 
printconfgui I meant redhat-config-printer-gui (which I believe used to be 
called something like printconfgui or something close back in the old RH6 
days)

Oops, but I had not noticed we were continuing it on wine-devel. Let's 
move to wine-users, please.
