           Summary: Word Viewer unable to print to cups-pdf printer
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.5
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicatio
                    nforms/bulgariaromania/formbr10408.doc
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: greenrd at greenrd.org


I have been trying to use Word Viewer, downloaded from this URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3657ce88-7cfa-457a-9aec-f4f827f20cac&displaylang=en

to print a file, because neither OpenOffice.org nor Google Docs can display it
correctly on Linux. (Actually, not even Word Viewer displays it correctly on
Wine, but it does seem to be almost correct.)

The document I have been trying to print is at:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/bulgariaromania/formbr10408.doc

The first time I tried to print, Word Viewer said there were no printers
installed. I think this was because I'd installed cups-pdf while Word Viewer
was running. So I quit Word Viewer and ran it again.

This time, when I tried to print, the Print dialog appeared, but when I pressed
the Print button, I got an error dialog saying that there was a problem with
printing - but it didn't give me any clue as to what the problem was. There was
no error in the cups error log.

If I do "echo hi|lp -" in Linux to print a test to a PDF file, this works. So
cups-pdf seems to be configured correctly.
