I have uninstalled the rpm for wine. I have built wine using
wineinstall from the cvs source. I have edited psdrv.reg to use the
generic.ppd and am using lotus notes. I am able to print to my network
printer, but I get this at the beginning of my error log:
service "lotusnotes" protocol * not found; You might want to add this to
/etc/services
and I am getting a winedb xterm when I tell it to print. When I quit
the debugger, my printout prints and I have to kill wine and remove the
socket file. Any suggestions on how I should proceed?

Richard
