debug log file

Captools is a financial management (stocks) program.  It once had a version for
individual investors, but long ago.  It still runs well on Win XP.  An upgrade
is not available.  It also runs beautifully on Linux with wine, with one
exception.  When the program starts, a message pops up which says that a
default printer for windows (not the program) has not been selected.  A Printer
Setup menu item produces the same message.  Reports can NOT be generated (even
on screen) because there is no recognized printer.  The message never happened
on Win XP.

There is almost no information in the registry for Captools, either on XP or
wine.  With grep, there is no reference at all to any printer in any file in
the program directory, either on XP or in wine.  Debug tracing indicates that
the CUPS printers are seen.  They are properly in the registry.

Printing with notebook in wine is perfect.  It is also available in regedit. 
The hardware (2 computers) does not have LPT or COM ports, only USB connections
to printers.

I have no idea what the program is checking on startup, but something is needed
to avoid the default printer message.  A debug log is attached.  The last few
lines of win.ini are:
[devices]
HL5340=wineps.drv,CUPS:HL5340
HL5340dup=wineps.drv,CUPS:HL5340dup
[PrinterPorts]
HL5340=wineps.drv,CUPS:HL5340,15,45
HL5340dup=wineps.drv,CUPS:HL5340dup,15,45
[windows]
device=hl5340,wineps.drv,CUPS:HL5340
