I'm running wine on my F14 laptop.
I have an old windows application that I have a lot of sheet music in. (Its called Rhapsody.) I'd like to print some of them, but the Print and Print Setup menu's in the File pulldown of the program are grayed out.
I went to /usr/share/doc/wine-docs-1.2 to read up on how wine interacts with CUPS. According to the documentation, it should just work, that wine interfaces directly to CUPS. If that's the case, why are my printing entries greyed out in my application?
CUPS is up and running on my laptop, and both printers that I've added are available and working from the Linux side of things.
What (more) information can I provide to help sort this out.
[For those who are wondering, yes, this used to work for me in the past, but that was before my recent F14 upgrade. I'm pretty sure it was last working for me on F12. Before that, it would have been F9....]
Wine 1.3.8. X86_64 in case that makes a difference.

Can you visit the Wine forums and search for an answer there? I think this was recently discussed.
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.

Firewall blocking the port used by CUPS? It'd need to be open both ways. Not that I use Wine, but that's the first thing that springs to mind. It not finding a printer, so not offering any options about it.

I don't think so, the printers work outside of wine....And wine can find them to put them in its configuration files. Its just that the application I'm running under wine has the printer menus greyed out.
