USB printer via Wine

[nadrach]

I see from previous posts that Wine does not yet support installing a USB printer driver and using it from CUPS. Is there any plan or timetable that this will be coming, or is it not intended?
My query relates to a Lexmark x5650 printer/scanner/copier. Although there is a Lexmark Linux driver package for this, it dates from 2010 and has a bug whereby a file fails to parse during install because dpkg doesn't like a description with a blank line in it, and the install promptly rolls back. I have been unable to get any reply to a support query on the Ubuntu forums as to the possibility of fixing the package, or extracting the PPD file for use. I was wondering if I could use the printer via a driver installed in Wine. Apparently not at the moment, so is there any intent for the future?

AFAIK, there is no plan to support installing Windows printer drivers in Wine.

Shucks ... Pity.
Right ... time to dismantle a package the hard way!
