[Wine] Printing Issue

I have a custom application that is primarily an indexed database of 
scanned documents.  The system can print either search records or the 
individual documents which are stored in Tiff format.  Under windows, 
everything works perfectly, but there are some issues with speed at our 
remote offices.  I am using FreeNX and Wine to set up remote access to 
the program to mitigate the overhead that causes the sluggishness at the 
remote sites and so far everything is working wonderfully except 
printing the individual images.  When the program prints the text 
indexes it prints perfectly under Wine, but when I try to print an 
image, I get what appears to be a hugely magnified and inverted version 
of the upper left part of the document.  For instance, if the first 
letter on the scanned document is a "Y" you get a solid black page with 
the "\" part of the Y spanning the page top to bottom.  I talked to the 
developer and he built a test version that just outputs a postscript 
stream instead of raw image data and it looks exactly the same as the 
programs default print method.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brent Davidson
