[Wine] Printing in Corel Draw through CUPS

Should
be just a routine to detect when a app sends postscript to the wine
printer. In this case don't change anything and just forward it to the
printer. In an other case should it be possible to just apply the
previous sended patch from Charles Morrison and this should fix the
problem.

No, Corel Draw just detects the postscript printer and
 generates postscript code.

>Can you switch Corel Draw to postscript level 1?
Yes this is possible, but then I thing many of the newer features of modern color laser and inkject printers are not avialable.

I
tested it with the version 8, 9, 11,12, but only version 9 is currently
that stable that real work is possible.  It's just a trial for X3
available but it isn't working on wine yet, based on msi problems.
Eventually I can give you a version personally to make tests.

I
have to say that this is my primary and only windows program i use on
linux (except of some games which do not count) and I made lot of
publications with it since I use on linux (12.2005). So I really depend
on this. Currently a kind of printing is possible by exporting the
document to a pdf file and print it afterwards but the enhanced printer
features on corel are then not usable, such as imposing the pages.

Kind regards

No Idea yet. Sorry.

Can you switch Corel Draw to postscript level 1?

Which "Corel Draw" version do you use?
Is a Trial available?
