If you're using KDE like I do, then here's a fix involving two steps.
If you're not using KDE, then ask around if there is something similar
for your desktop environment. So here goes:

Step 1:
In the file WIN.INI found in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/ add the
following lines:

[devices]
KDE Print System=WINEPS.DRV,KDE:
Wine PostScript Driver=WINEPS.DRV,LPT1:

[windows]
device=KDE Print System,WINEPS.DRV,KDE:
device=Wine PostScript Driver,WINEPS.DRV,LPT1:

Step 2:
Copy the code below into a file called "printing.reg". Then in a
terminal run
"wine regedit" without the quotes. When Registry Editor opens, import
the
file "printing.reg" that you just saved. Close all wine programs, then
type
"wineboot" in a terminal, and you're all set.
