Wine + OS X: no default printer

unnocni · Post by **unnocni** » Sat Jun 28, 2008 8:36 pm

I've installed the MacPorts package for Wine (wine 1.0).

I'm using OS X Leopard with X11. From OS X applications, I can print to my default printer. I also have CUPS-PDF installed and that too is working for my OS X applications.

My Windows applications run well but they complain about the lack of a default printer.

In Linux (Ubuntu), Wine detects the printer from CUPS. Is it possible to get Wine's printing working in OS X/X11?

What is interesting is that Darwine 1.0-2 is detecting a printer that no
longer exists on my system. I was not able to print to a pdf file. I
will look at updating my printer setup to include the CUPS-PDF printer
as well to see if I can print to PDF files. The file appears to have
printed to the non-existent printer as I received no error messages back.

Also, what version of XQuartz are you using? There are SERIOUS problems
with the original X11 that shipped with Leopard and it is highly
recommended you install the latest version of XQuartz (which is the same
that will ship with Leopard 10.5.4, when it becomes available.)

I am using the latest XQuartz (2.2.3) from
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki

If you have a printer being recognized, I will try darwine and post the result.

Found an "unofficial" Intel build of Darwine. The error is the same (I should have pasted this text before):

fixme:winspool:WINSPOOL_EnumPrinters We don't handle PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS
fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub
fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub

Given that printing with Wine works in Ubuntu, something is missing or being handled differently in OS X.
