Wine Printing

See: http://frankscorner.org

Another way to print in Wine, steps:

• regedit
• in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\~cups_printer_name~
• find the key “Port”
• change it’s value to |kprinter for KDE

When the user wants to print, the standard print dialog appears.
