Hi
Pretty sure I've found the problem after lot of googling.
It appears there is a registry patch to allow network printing.
Ive only got winXP sp2 , so to take this further I'd need a later edition.
This is more a personal battle to prove it works.
Strangely enough there's a patch for win 7 to make it work :).
Maybe Santa will come late a drop an .iso image through the letter box.
Any one succeeded in running win s/w that requires .NET in wine ?
Thanks
