Hi Pretty sure I've found the problem after lot of googling. It appears there is a registry patch to allow network printing. Ive only got winXP sp2 , so to take this further I'd need a later edition. This is more a personal battle to prove it works. Strangely enough there's a patch for win 7 to make it work :). Maybe Santa will come late a drop an .iso image through the letter box. Any one succeeded in running win s/w that requires .NET in wine ?
