Solved Wine 32bit Not Getting Printers

cups 2.4.7

Have got wine working, including 32bit wine, for those old windows programs that I like, and that can run with wine.

Particularly like Ulead PhotoImpact 11, which I have been using for the best part of twenty years. It is the same sort of program as gimp, except I find gimp much too convoluted.

Unfortunately, PhotoImpact does not recognise my printer from cups.

Any ideas?
 
Also dont forget that wine needs to be recompiled for both architectures.

When building straight from ports with an amd64 host for example with that option on then it only works for 64-Bit applictions.
 
wine installed from ports with [X] CUPS CUPS printing system support

But the 32 bit installed from packages using
/usr/local/share/wine/pkg32.sh
 
How do I build from ports for:
32 bit
user: me
to root directory: /home/me/.i386-wine-pkg
 
Never got on with poudriere, prefer synth, been using it comfortably for years.

Unfortunately, synth cannot cross compile for i386. Or maybe it can, but I cannot get it to. Any ideas?

Did try a 32 bit install under bhyve, even with BHYVE_UEFI_CSM.fd. But that does not work.

Luckily, I have a very old and meagre laptop. Installed i386, synth, created the repository.

Now I have got the printer working in the very old. but useful, windows package.
