Some times the printing in Wine gets mucked up, and can be fixed by
manually deleting printing entries in a couple of Wine files. This
assumes that you can print from Linux with CUPS, and that Wine was
compiled with CUPS support.
Make sure to make a backup copy of these files before editing.
In the file windows/win.ini, delete the printer entries in the [devices]
and [windows] sections, but leave the headings.
In the ~/.wine/system.reg file, delete the entire sections, including
headers, that begin:
[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print\\Printers\\
Save the files, and then start any Wine program, and select print setup.
The CUPS printers should get configured.
