I search the forums for thread containing the word CUPS.  I found one
thread (out of 95) discussing the fact that the default printer never
changes because of the contents of ~/.cups/lpoptions file, and that if
it was deleted, things got better.  Not for me.  Removing that file does
nothing for the application I'm running.  I did look through the
registry files and the windows/win.ini file in my drive_c, and I can see
my printers listed in those files.  I'm just not seeing them in my
application.  B^(

For now, I've worked around the problem by copying my application to my
wife's Windows machine, and running the application there, and using
some windows PDF-printer to create the PDFs I needed.  I just wished it
would have continued to work on Linux with wine.
