--- Comment #1 from Detlef Riekenberg <wine.dev at web.de> ---
You do not need a script.

Wine has a builtin Port redirection to a pipe (or a unix file),
which can be set in the registry in HKCU\Software\Wine\Printing\Spooler

Add a String with the portname as name of the String and the redirection-target
as Value.

Start the redirection with the pipe symbol, followed by your command.
"LPT1:"="|lpr -o raw -P cups_printer_name"


The Wine User Guide has a link to the related part in the Wine-Wiki:

Please verify, that this works also with your old program and report back.
