I am not sure that it will actually fix your installation, but it should
not be that difficult to install a printer. So you don't have a printer?
you don't have cups, I assume. So you want to go through the steps for
installing the "psdrv" stuff at:
http://www.winehq.com/Docs/wine-user/printing.shtml
If there is a part of this you don't understand, you will need to give
more information than "it is completely baffling".
Once installed, in your ~/.wine/config file, make the LPT1: device point
to a file, and wine should print to a file just fine:
[spooler]
"FILE:" = "tmp.ps"
"LPT1:" = "tmp.ps"
