printing (cups) not working

[bettylou]

I have wine working in an Arch install (x86_64). I can print to the CUPs printer.

I have another machine with a Debian x64 install (dpkg --print-foreign-architectures -> amd64 & i386). Precisely the same cups setup. Using a virgin prefix, I cannot print from this machine.

When a app (eg notepad) enters the print dialog, my printer (as labeled in CUPS) appears. Upon affirming the print dialog, the dialog closes without error... but nothing prints. Nothing shows in the CUPS print queue as uncompleted . The printer is available to non-wine apps throughout the session.

I worry that I am missing a package on this AMD64 install, or perhaps a config is glitched.

My next step in troubleshooting is to verify that I can print from a freshly installed and configured Debian x32 machine. Before I take that step (installing the OS, configuring the printer, installing wine, etc.) does anyone already know what I might be doing wrong?

wine --version
also run from terminal wine does have a habit of printing out useful information.

bettylou number 1 we no longer support 1.4.1 you need 1.6.x at least to be supported.

We end support of versions of wine over time. Distributions like Debian don't update.
