I updated to a current Wine version and repeated the printing, which
also works fine. So remote printing via CUPS can work on Wine.
If I delete the current ~/.wine and rerun winecfg to create a clean
setup, I do not get any complaints about the printing system. The
messages you provided show that Wine is not recognizing that you have CUPS.
I notice that you mentioned something about only installing "cupsclient"
on the second machine. Could you explain that part? Perhaps the answer
is that Wine is looking for a running cups server. Even though I have no
local printers connected to my second computer, I am still running the
regular CUPS server, and it simply forwards the print requests to the
remote machine.
