Printing in Wine

[Drew Dunn]

I'm using RH 7.1 with 20011108.  Wine is running well with the few 
simple apps that I use with it.  The only problem that I'm having is 
with printing.  I've followed the somewhat conflicting instructions that 
I've found around the web to use the internal PS driver and at least 
gotten that much to show up in the dialog box on WinSpice3.  However, 
when I attempt to print I get the error:

"err:winspool:WINSPOOL_GetDevModeFromReg corrupted registry for 
L"Default DevMode" ( size 0)"

"no DevMode in registry. please setup your printer again."

"err:commdlg:PRINTDLG_ChangePrinter DocumentProperties fails on "Wine 
PostScript Driver""

I've been through both win.ini and .wine/config and I can't find any 
obvious errors.  I've tried deleteing the DevMode entry from the 
registry, but that didn't help.  Examining the DevMode entry from a 
working Windows 2000 and Windows XP installation revealed a binary entry 
that's quite long.

Every example registry file that I've seen shows the line

"Default DevMode"=

with no value set.

I'm using an HP LaserJet 4Si/MX and I've got the correct (as far as I 
can tell) PPD file installed.  At this point, I'm out of ideas and just 
using The GIMP to do window caps to print.  I'd much rather do it from 
the program, of course.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Drew Dunn
