Re: Printing in wine - Codeweavers Cross Over Office.

Hi James

Thanks for the tips James I'll give them a try. the main reason that I
am wanting to use wine is to run Quick books for account keeping and we
need to be able to print invoices etc (unfortunately the Australian tax
system isn't compatible with the Open Source Packages,so I'v been told,
But we will try to get some suggestion into the developers)

thanks again (well let you know how we go)

Darrin
