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.
