I have just checked this interesting solution on the i386 version.
I ran "wine wordpad", typed some nonsense, and hit Ctrl+P. The
printers known to CUPS did show up in the printer dialog, and
when the job was submitted, it appeared in the correct queue
(and got printed as intended). Well, I never tried that, but who
knows where it might be useful... :-)
