PRINTING : How to remove Wine passthrough header ?

Post by chr!x »

Hi !

I'm using Wine 1.0 for gOS 3.1 SP1. I use a GENERIC TEXT ONLY printer driver for printing specific terminal documents. When I print something, I still have :

- a first page with :
%%BeginDocument: Wine passthrough
- my document
- a last page with :
%%Trailer
%%Pages: 0
%%EOF

How to remove first and last page ?

I think those pages are generated by CUPS, not Wine, and you have to change a setting in CUPS. Consult the CUPS documentation.

Thanks 4 reply.

Read here : http://www.nabble.com/Corel-Draw-and-Pr ... 22191.html
Thats because cups prints the raw postscript (the postscript code itself)
output to the page. On the top of the page its readable "%%Begin Document:
Wine passthrough" which lets me strongly guess that wine directly sends the
Corel Draw created postscript code to the printer (passthrough) instead of
let it spool locally.
and ...
I think its a kind of missing config parameters and its
behaviour in wine. It should be possible to force wine to spool everything
first through the local cups instead of sending it "passthough".
Can somebody see that this feature comes into wine asap.
Do you still thinks CUPS configuration is concerned ? Any problem with Wine ?

There are no configurable options in Wine for this. If you can't configure CUPS then deal with it. Or implement functionality you want in Wine.
