Hello Dan,
Printing under Win4Lin normally works using lpr. However, support has
tested printing under CUPS and found that it does not always work as
expected. You should be able to enable printing via CUPS by following
these steps:
1) Switch to root user:
su root
2) Start winsetup
3) Choose System-wide Win4Lin Administration, then View/Create/Modify
Device Definitions.
4) Under Printer, set your Printer Command as the following:
exec lpr -o raw
5)Save and exit winsetup.
This should let you print using CUPS under Win4Lin.
Regards,
Amanda Owens
