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).


1. External printer drivers
---------------------------
At present only 16 bit drivers will work.
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
graphics/psdrv/README 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.
