Did you see the same "err:" as above?
("PRINTDLG_ChangePrinterW DocumentProperties fails" before
"PRINTDLG_UpdatePrintDlgW No lpdm ptr")

lpr just send the File to your Printer.

wine uses "wineps.drv" to create this Postscript-File and needs
a ppd-File from your Printer for that.

When cupsd is running, wineps.drv get's the ppd-file from cups.

You have a Printer-Specific PPD-File on the remote CUPS-Server.
Please copy this PPD-File to your Machine.

"/etc/printcap", "lpr" and the PPD-File
or
a local "cupsd" running and "lpr"

You see the Results from "PSDRV_ParsePPD", when wineps reads the
PPD-File.
This Part war missing before, because you did not provide a PPS-File.
