Hi,
although wine in MacOSX works generally good enough (see test.winehq.org about release 1.1.28), I recently visited the print menu in notepad and wordpad to see whether printing would work (in order to complete the FAQ).
All that happened is that the printer ejected a blank page.
Don't expect printing to work in wordpad for now. The EM_FORMATRANGE message is used in wordpad to do printing, and that isn't implemented yet.
I think notepad should work though, since it is using ExtTextOut.
I have been able to print from Wine apps in OSX though I'm still having some issues which I did not investigate yet. The issue is that when I print from my app which uses non-standard fonts with some integral / summation symbols that those symbols are lost during the printing and that a 'square' is shown instead. I don't see this issue on Linux.
Interesting. I was going to comment that the EM_FORMATRANGE problem may be the cause, but this may be due to the CUPS implementation or some other reason on the Mac. Unfortunately, my only printer, which was an inkjet, would have cost as much to repair as it would to buy a new one. I guess it may be time to buy another, but this time its going to be a laser, not ink.

Printing from notepad works fine for me on both Linux and OSX, fwiw
