I only tested all entries wine made in the printers setup. The
postscript queue works well for me with the exception that this isn´t
the default printer because SuSE configured the ps queue in second
place while the ascii queue is in first place.

Why doesn´t wine use the default printer setup in the
~/wine/system.reg but allways change the default printer in win.ini
to the first printcap entry? This is a problem using win apps which
does not allow to choose/change the printer like notepad.

No it isn´t. The old wineps.drv isn´t accessible anymore. Now I have
deleted this old printer entries from the system.reg.
