Hi,
since updating to wine-6.21-1 on Nov. 8th, wine is no longer finding my printers.

Reverting to wine-6.16-1 helps and printers are back again. Is there any solution to keep the current wine printing?

I did a spool debug on 6.21-1:

Now, that 6.23 is out and still didn’t load the printers I found the solution in manually installing lib32-libcups. Until 6.16. this wasn’t needed.

I would suggest to add this package to the dependency list or at least to the optional dependencies.

report directly to maintainer >> felixonmars (Felix Yan) (github.com)

Reported to archlinux.org. github didn’t look very active.
