Wine printing to cups pdf on 32 bit debian

Post by iii_iii »

This question has come up before but the solution relates to 64 bit systems.

I have been trying to print to pdf from wine. In my latest attempt I am using debian 8, 32 bit in a virtual machine. I downloaded the source for wine and compiled it, and the source for cups pdf. But I always get a message saying I need to set up a printer before I can print from notepad. I see this error in the terminal where I launch wine:

fixme:winspool:WINSPOOL_EnumPrintersW We don't handle PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS

I can print to pdf from linux:

lpstat -a
PDF accepting requests since Thu 30 Jun 2016 10:44:50 BST
lp temp.txt
request id is PDF-2 (1 file(s))

Here are some version numbers:

wine --version
wine-1.8.3

cups-pdf_3.0beta2.tar.gz

Linux 3.16.0-4-586 #1 Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08) i686 GNU/Linux

As anyone got it working? How did you do it? I have it working on other distributions, including Ubuntu, but not debian.

Are you sure you compiled Wine with CUPS support?

Er, um, well I rather assumed it was included by default but it seems it wasn't. I recompiled and have it working now thanks.

(I ran it like this ./wineinstall CONFARGS=--with-cups)
