When complete this will allow Wine to generate PostScript files without
needing an external printer driver. It should be possible to print to a
non PostScript printer by filtering the output through ghostscript.
This allows Wine to generate PostScript files without
needing an external printer driver. Wine in this case uses the
system provided postscript printer filters, which almost all use
ghostscript if necessary. Those should be configured during the
original system installation or by your system administrator.

Since WINE cannot find out what type of printer this is, you
need to specify a PPD file in the [ppd] section of
<filename>~/.wine/config</filename>. Either use the shortcut
name and make the entry look:
