Printing under Wine - Mission Impossible? (solved)

[Dan Fer]

I finally compiled latest 20021031 tar.gz myself with cups development deb 
package installed and finally got cups to work. I also send a note to the 
daily deb maitainer to ask him and "why not" suggest him to include this 
feature. Hopes he does :)
