Re: [newbie] wine install on mandrake 8.1
Hi Rob Sorry, I'm no help here. I have the same problem - can't print from myob (an accounting app). Just haven't had the time to look into it yet. Hopefully someone else can help out here. When I get around to sorting that problem out I'll post the results to the list, but don't hold your breath. Good luck. skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works On Monday 25 February 2002 09:12, Robert Gray wrote: Dear All I use Windows to run a couple of legacy apps, Wine now runs most of these (thank you Skinky) and as soon as I can print from Quattro Pro 7 in Wine (help please I cannot make head or tail of the documentation)only my bookkeeper will use the Windows partion.

Re: [newbie] wine install on mandrake 8.1
i have never used wine for anything more than games, but if you tell us what programs you have tried and what it says/does when you attempt it, and how you attempt it, we could be more useful. ;-) On Tuesday 19 February 2002 15:27, you spoke unto me thusly: I just mandrake loaded.
