Subject: [cw-discuss] Wine PostScript Driver - msg#00045

List: emulators.crossover.general

Date: Prev Next Index Thread: Prev Next Index
I recently installed Adobe Reader 7.07 for Windows using CrossOver
Office. When I go to print I find "Wine PostScript Driver." The other
drivers I have installed in CUPS are also listed, but this must be
something outside of CUPS. My other drivers don't work properly from
Adobe Reader 7.08 for Linux, which I also have installed. In fact, they
don't work properly from the Windows version that I just installed
either. Hence, I'd like to try the "Wine PostScript Driver," but what
is it? I can't find any way to configure it. If I select it, how will
it know where to send the print stream, i.e., what port will it use?

The dialog box also lists "KDE Print System," but there is also no way
to configure this or figure out what it is or where it came from. I use
Gnome desktop, not KDE.

[cw-discuss] Creating devices

I have the following GPS device that I am trying to upgrade. /dev/sde mounted as /media/TOMTOMGO700 I have tried creating a symlink in dosdevices # ln -s /dev/sde e: # ln -s /dev/sde /media/TOMTOMGO700 The program says there is no compatible TomTom device connected for either configuration. The update program ouputs the following config info:- * Computer info: Operating system: Windows XP (build 2600, Service Pack 2) Free memory: 164495360 bytes User home directory: "C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME" Home volume space: 103649 / 188852 MB Temporary directory: "C:\Windows\Temp\" Temp volume space: 103649 / 188852 MB Install directory: "C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME\" Install volume space: 103649 / 188852 MB External volume devices OS login name: "lancelot" Host name: "barrabas.site" Date and time: 2006-12-27 02:44:26 * HOME info: HOME Version: 1.3.308 Language: Connection state: logged in anonymous Loaded device dll: none * Connected device: none * Backup info: No backups. * Run-time variables: sDeviceCode = "" sDeviceMUID = "" sDeviceType = "" sLastConnectedDevice = "unknown" sLoginType = "Anonymous" sUsername = "" sSessionId = "7a1281e9:baba37bd:00000000:00000000:00000000:00000000:4l7icdm0m88tb8lad9ucenh454" sBrowserComponentType = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.1)" sFlashVersion = "7" sSoftwareVersion = "" * Number of outstanding timers: 1 2006-12-27T08:21:58, secs: 21600 (360 min), type: POLL, ID: PollTimer Any ideas?

Re: [cw-discuss] Wine PostScript Driver

Adobe do not support or recommend multiple installations of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (or Distiller) or a mixture thereof on a Windows machine. I don't see why you should need the windows option here. I would understand the need for the full Acrobat Pro and the Adobe PostScript driver, but I don't think this is supported in CrossOver. I have Adobe FrameMaker 7.2 installed (and this is the ONLY reason I need CrossOver), but I have not found out how to make full use of its direct access to the PostScript code (using its built in settings options), addressing the Adobe PostScript Driver and Adobe Distiller. And, BTW, a PostScript Driver is just like any printer "driver" a filter that tells the device (printer or Distiller) how to interpret the input to it (when you hit "print" or "Save as PDF" or the like). I do not know that Adobe Reader for Linux uses any specific driver. Maybe because PostScript is native to UNIX/Linux systems? So I would appreciate some light shed on this matter too. Also, whether Adobe Reader for Windows interacts in any way with the resources of the Linux sibling.
