Hello Detlef,

thanks for your reply!

I'm not sure how this would help me.

Yes, I remember your reply.
You wrote: "Peinting with lpr requires an entry in "/etc/printcap" and a
ppd-File for the Printer."

At this point I decided to post my problem again with a more detailed
description:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2006-June/022469.html

There I mention that I already have a working printing environment and that
I can print with lpr from the command line, even without /etc/printcap or
any ppd files, just by configuring /etc/cups/client.conf.


Anyway. I followd your advice and copied /usr/share/wine/generic.ppd
to /usr/share/cups/model/generic.ppd on my local machine. Then I configured
a local cupsd, which forwards all print jobs to my print server
(ipp://goza/printers/i560), using the generic.ppd.
(It seems, that wine requires a local cupsd.)

Unfortunately I still can't print, although the error messages disappeared.
But now I'm able to print to a file. The file is called "FILE:" (can't
choose a name or path), a postscript file that I can print with Konqueror.
I can live with that for now.

I believe you, but I don't understand what you are trying to tell me.
;-)


Thanks a lot!
