I compiled and installed wine 1.1.8 (from src from winehq) probably 4 months ago...ish. I never tried printing until today after I installed MathCAD.
My printer (which normally shows up in Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit) doesn't show up at all in wine. MathCAD and notepad both threw an error "Install a printer before trying to print" <- not exact quote. I tried installing bullzip pdf printer, which installed fine, but this was the result when I tried to print from it:
Is there something I need to do in order to see my CUPS printers in Wine? I have done absolutely no setup for any printers besides try and install bullzip.
Any ideas? Did I have to do something special when I compiled wine in order to have this functionality?

I appreciate any insight.
Does your printer work in cups? I.e., can you print from firefox? Did
you originally compile with printing support?
I can print fine from firefox, document viewer, etc. in ubuntu (while not using wine).
It may or may not be of interest to note that another windows port (Mathematica, linux version) can't see my printer either, I always have to print to file. This is not running in wine, however, it's a native linux version from wolfram.
I did not explicitly compile wine with printing support. What are the flags to do that when I compile? I've only ever compiled stuff in linux with just ./configure;make;make install. What would I want to change in order to install with printing support?

Thanks!
If you didn't have cups dev libraries installed when compiling, you
may not have printing support. Check the status of configure.
Do you know which Ubuntu (or other) repository would have that package? I'm assuming the one I want is "cups-dev" but it doesn't show up in synaptic for me so I don't think I have the repository that has it.
I have all of the Ubuntu repos selected (including multi and universe).
Which repository would have cups-dev? Should I just find and compile it from source? Also, is cups-dev even the correct package?
