I am a wine newbie so forgive me if this was already answered, but my Google foo is not good enough to solve the problem.
I just installed wine version 1.2.2 on Mac OS 10.6.6 using Macports. I also installed gdiplus using winetricks. I am not able to see any of my Mac printers on Notepad's Print Dialog. The only printer visible is "Microsoft XPS Document Writer".
I have tried to diagnose this problem as follows:
1) I can go to http://localhost:631/printers and manage CUPS.
2) nc localhost 631, followed by entering text, returns HTML with a 405 error.
3) I ran the command: cupsctl BrowseRemoteProtocols=cups
4) I tried to Add Printers in the wine environment, but I can't figure out how. The Print dialog doesn't have an "Add Printer" button. The Control Panel doesn't have a "Printers and Faxes" applet.
Any suggestions on how to resolve and/or diagnose would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks for the help!

This does not work. Your printer HAS to be available through CUPS.2) nc localhost 631, followed by entering text, returns HTML with a 405 error.

Reason: there are two ways for a program to talk to the CUPS server: (1)
via lpr and (2) via a TCP/IP port. Wine uses the latter which, on the

Re: No printers visible on Mac OS X Snow Leopard
I believe they are published. I have a Ubuntu system on the same LAN, and I can see the Mac's printers in the Ubuntu System/Administration/Printing panel when I click "Add Printer". They are identified as "Remote CUPS printer under DNS-SD". Is that correct?Martin Gregorie wrote:On Sun, 2011-03-06 at 19:13 -0600, davelasker wrote:Is your CUPS server set to 'publish shared printers connected to thisJames McKenzie wrote:Yes, I can see all of my installed printers at http://localhost:631/printers.On 3/6/11 5:43 PM, davelasker wrote:

Re: No printers visible on Mac OS X Snow Leopard
First check that the package you installed was compiled with CUPS support. This was a known problem with the Macports builds:davelasker wrote:I just installed wine version 1.2.2 on Mac OS 10.6.6 using Macports.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17354
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/27836
There is another bug indicating at least one person still has a problem: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25941
Since only Macports users are reporting this I tend to think it's probably a Macports issue, but you can check that by building Wine yourself.
