Unable to print with the Wine PS driver

[Oscar A. Valdez]

I'm trying to get Wine to print through it's PS driver, without success, on a HP DeskJet 694C, configured on Linux with the cdj670 driver.

What I get to see on screen after I attempt to print are three windows with exclamation marks on a yellow triangle and garbled text. The
first window is titled "Printer name", the second "Device name", the third "Output". After clicking OK on the third, I get Wine's Print
Dialog window. If I hit OK on it, I get an unhandled exception.

When I run Wine with the options --debugmsg +print,+psdrv, I get frequent 'FindPrinterInfo' and 'DeleteDC' messages, as well as numerous 'WriteSpool16' messages before the unhandled
exception at the very end (which, by the way, doesn't even launch the debugger window).

These are the relevant sections from ~/.wine/config:

********************

[wine]
...
;"printer" = "on"

[parallelports]
"Lpt1" = "/dev/lp0"

[ppd]
"HPDesk" = "/home/halvarado/.wine/HP-DeskJet_694C-cdj670-ppd.ppd" ;generated at www.linuxprinting.org

[ppdev]
;; key:  io-base of the emulated port
;; value : parport-device{,timeout}
;; timeout for auto closing an open device ( not yet implemented)
;"378" = "/dev/parport0"
;"278" = "/dev/parport1"
;"3bc" = "/dev/parport2"

[spooler]
"FILE:" = "tmp.ps"
"LPT1:" = "|lpr"

This is the file psdrv.reg that I regapi into the registry:

psdrv.reg:
