           Summary: PrinterPorts does not exist in win.ini
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-gdi-(printing)
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: brian at worldcontrol.com


An application I use has a printer selection dialog which would core dump on
selection.  Turned out that in MS Windows installs, vmware, and win4lin, the
windows/win.ini would contain a section like:

[PrinterPorts]
Samsung ML-1710=ADOBEPS4,\\192.168.0.3\samsung,15,45
front=ADOBEPS4,\\192.168.0.3\front,15,45

However, no such section existed in wine's windows/win.ini.

This missing section caused the application printer selection dialog to explode.

I manually created the following entry

[PrinterPorts]
samsung=WINEPS.DRV,LPR:samsung,15,45
front=WINEPS.DRV,LPR:front,15,45

and now printer selection in the application works correctly under wine.
