(still not) printing (lprng)

[SZABO Zsolt]

I have lprng (debian 3.0) and only a fake_windows (despite, I could
install a Word97 ;-) and
~# dpkg -l libwin* |grep ^i
ii  libwine        0.0.20030115-2 Windows Emulator (Library)
ii  libwine-print  0.0.20030115-2 Windows Emulator (Printing Module)

I would like to generate PS file from application such as M$ Word97.

However, when I click on File/Print... I got 6 times
err:psdrv:PSDRV_FindPrinterInfo OpenPrinterA failed with code 1801
and 2 times
fixme:winspool:WINSPOOL_EnumPrinters We dont handle PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS

and then I see 2 Wine PostScript Driver, but in "Inactive" state when
choosing one of them. Then I check the "Print to file" box, and click
"OK" and I got a warning message (/!\) "There was a problem[..] and
Windows cannot print. Check the following:..." or similar (it is in
Hungarian).

You can find the relevant parts of my configs (with some comments from me)

IMHO, the Printing the documentation for using built in PS driver is not
complete, at least for printing with lpd or lprng... :-(
(I guess that without cups one should modify the win.ini by hand also..)

TIA, Zsolt
