This can only happen, when wine is unable to receive a ppd-File
from CUPS and no ppd-file is configured in the registry.

See my previous message :
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-January/053617.html
("trace:winspool:CUPS_LoadPrinters loaded libcups.so.2")


What do you get from:
$ grep -i  cups include/config.h

Where is the library located, that is used in
"#define SONAME_LIBCUPS" from above
$ find /usr/l* -name libcups.*


What do you get from:
$ file <your_path_and_name_from_above>
$ file /usr/lib/libcups.*
$ file /usr/lib64/libcups.*

That is an issue, that must be fixed in wine.

I do the same here, but my wine is using CUPS
