Err... The other computer sends prints to it remotely...

I updated to a current Wine version and repeated the printing, which 
also works fine. So remote printing via CUPS can work on Wine.

If I delete the current ~/.wine and rerun winecfg to create a clean 
setup, I do not get any complaints about the printing system. The 
messages you provided show that Wine is not recognizing that you have CUPS.

I notice that you mentioned something about only installing "cupsclient" 
on the second machine. Could you explain that part? Perhaps the answer 
is that Wine is looking for a running cups server. Even though I have no 
local printers connected to my second computer, I am still running the 
regular CUPS server, and it simply forwards the print requests to the 
remote machine.
