Mint Mate 17, 32 bit
Wine 1.7.22
Printer was working okay till the other day when I think I saw a CUPS update...
Wine apps can't see any printer installed. Then if I print from a Linux app, that works okay; after that the Wine app finds the printer and prints fine. It's as if it CUPS needs to be woken up first. What to do?
Edit -> changed it's mind and seems to be working again now, but there must have been something wrong.
Printer stopped working
Re: Printer stopped working
Circlotron this is kinda yes no and maybe answer.
Yes there was most likely something minor-ally off. Wineserver with an application can have old version of cups interface libraries loaded. New libraries new cups until everything is restarted no dependable printing. If this was what was wrong this is absolutely normal failure.
Cups update can trigger this behaviour in native applications like libreoffice as well.
Yes there was something wrong. Side effect of updating. Most of the time Linux updates go by without you even noticing. CUPS is one. Accelerated video playback is another.

Yes this behaviour normally exist all wine apps do a wineserver -k and start applications again or reboot and problem goes away. Linux applications most likely started fresh after update so using the new interfaces so everything working for them and when they send the right message the old libraries can work.Wine apps can't see any printer installed.
