Source for your information on this?  I know that printer drivers
require Administrator level privileges to install and make any required
registry changes.  Those changes have to be user readable or they do not
work. 

As to the requirements to install printer drivers and operate in
Windows/Linux/MacOSX.  They run at RING 0 level, kernel.  Not at Ring
2/3 (user).  Thus installing Windows only printers will NEVER happen in
Wine, as Wine strictly runs at ring 2/3.  Thus you have to get a Linux
driver in order to run in Wine.
