           Summary: win.ini needs update when new printers are available
                    but not for listing them
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.15
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: valentin.david at gmail.com


But that is quite a problem. Let say I want to have the file system of a Wine
prefix and system.reg to be owned by another user. I do that so that I can make
sure the program does not modify what it is not suppose to modify, and that I
can safely share a ProgramFiles directory and system.reg across users. It works
quite nicely. Except printing.

win.ini is created during the initialization of the prefix during the first run
with the (virtual) administrator user. And it will contain the list of printers
that were present at that moment.

Now I run it as user, and since that time I added a printer in Cups. In
printing dialogs, I find that printer listed. But neither the button OK nor
Properties work. If I click on the latter for instance I get:

warn:driver:DRIVER_GetDriverName Unable to find L"CUPS-PDF" in [devices]
section of win.ini

I wonder why the dialog successfully list all the printers but fails to use
them. Either it has to use only the one present in win.ini, or it has to be
able to use those printers that are not in it. This would avoid to have really
strange errors.
