Greetings all! Despite my zeal to avoid all things microsoft, there are still a few rather unique analytical freeware programs I use for my thesis research that are written exclusively for that most despicable and ineffective OS. To avoid kow-towing to redmond, I've taken to running these applications under the Wine emulator. However, one particularly important application to me is giving me quite a lot of grief lately.
I have an application that reports the following error in wine: "Sorry, this program could not find a default printer driver on your system. Please install a printer driver before running this program." Wine fails after this error is reported. This message leads me to believe that the application is checking for a driver, but does not necessarily need a printer installed. I suspect this because I've run this program on a now extinct windoze partition without a printer installed. Will installing any old printer driver in my .wine/fake-windows/Windows/System/ directory ameliorate this error? I don't actually need to print. If so, any suggestions as to where to find such a printer driver and how to identify it in ./win.ini? I tried installing a HP driver to this directory, but Wine still reported errors along the lines of 'bad format for default printer', so perhaps my syntax in win.ini was faulty. I realize 'doze questions are not appropriate to this forum, but I am _really_ trying to do the 'right' thing and avoid using 'doze by resolving this Wine problem. I appreciate any hints anyone may be able to give me. -dave _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
