Well, I can print just fine with several apps under Wine (using CUPS and
RH7.3). But I have never tried to print from notepad. So I tried it, and
it doesn't work! Looks like a bug somewhere, and not a problem with your
configuration. I guess whatever is breaking notepad is also breaking
Lotus Notes.
You might want to check whether a bug is filed on that, and if not,
maybe file a bug.
