has it ? ;-)

I have dug an old post where I was trying to address the problem
of printing using a text driver; there are all places where I had
to set something to get it to load; maybe some of these places
is missing for you ? OTOH I have never used the Ps driver so
beware this could be irrelevant (or even already obsolete :-/)


my .winerc

[parallelports]
Lpt1=|lpr
 
[spooler]
LPT1:=|lpr 

my win.ini

[devices]
Wine PostScript Driver=WINEPS,LPT1:
Driver Tty=TTY,LPT1:
Winprint=Tty,LPT1:
 
[windows]
device=Driver tty,TTY,LPT1:      

my registry (system.reg)
[MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print\\Printers\\Driver

Btw if you *really* need to mail me the address I display here
is now entirely wrong; my provider is currently 'asi' (in the fr
domain) and my address is 'gerard.patel' (it's shown on the 
wine-devel list or in the Wine ChangeLog anyway)
