Printing in Wine
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Printing in Wine can be done in one of two ways. Both of which are very alpha.
|
|
|
|
1. Use a windows 3.1 printer driver.
|
|
|
|
2. Use the builtin Wine Postscript driver (+ ghostscript to produce output for
|
|
non-postscript printers).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that at the moment WinPrinters (cheap, dumb printers that require the host
|
|
computer to explicitly control the head) will not work. It is unclear whether
|
|
they ever will.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. External printer drivers
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
At present only 16 bit drivers will work (note that these include win9x
|
|
drivers).
|
|
|
|
Add
|
|
|
|
printer=on
|
|
|
|
to the [wine] section of wine.conf (or ~/.winerc). This lets CreateDC proceed
|
|
if its driver argument is a 16 bit driver.
|
|
|
|
You will probably also need to add
|
|
|
|
TTEnable=0
|
|
TTOnly=0
|
|
|
|
to the [TrueType] section of win.ini .
|
|
|
|
The code for the driver interface is in graphics/win16drv .
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Builtin Wine PostScript driver
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
Enables printing of PostScript files via a driver built into Wine. See
|
|
documentation/psdriver for installation instructions. The code for the
|
|
PostScript driver is in graphics/psdrv .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spooling
|
|
========
|
|
Spooling is rather primitive. The [spooler] section of wine.conf maps a port
|
|
(e.g. LPT1:) to a file or a command via a pipe. For example the following lines
|
|
|
|
LPT1:=foo.ps
|
|
LPT2:=|lpr
|
|
|
|
map LPT1: to file foo.ps and LPT2: to the lpr command. If a job is sent to an
|
|
unlisted port then a file is created with that port's name e.g. for LPT3: a
|
|
file called LPT3: would be created.
