The last time I tried to install CUPS and then use printing under Wine (which
was about the time I filed this bug, so things may have changed), any attempt to
access the printing function of a Windows app running under Wine would cause
Wine to segfault.

I was told (in the Winedev mailing list) that the problem was that the PPD files
that CUPS returned to Wine were not in a format that Wine could understand, and
that was causing the fault.

I then pointed out (in Winedev) that the documentation said that printing under
Wine with CUPS "just worked" and that in fact it did not "just work".

I was told to file a bug, and I did.

Now, since I got fed up with several of the things that CUPS did to my printing
services just under normal Linux, I removed it and went back to LPDng. Since I
have no intention of trying CUPS again (since what I have works) I cannot check
if the problems have been fixed or not.
