The day has come to test printers on Zorin OS 18

The day has come to test printers on Zorin OS 18.
Today I had to print documents; I use Office 2010 due to compatibility reasons with the documents I have and also because I am more familiar with Microsoft's tools.
In my mind, I thought I would need to install the printer drivers in the same instance where I installed Office 2010 in Wine.
But to my surprise when I was ready to print from Office 2010, the instance automatically recognized my printer.I am attaching the images.


I can even access the properties and features of my printer

Nice, congrats! :printer: :+1:

Just make sure there is no shredder in front of it, or this will happen. :joy:

How is Office 2010 working for you via Wine? I tried 2016 in Wine and found it to be a bit buggy - enough so that I started running Office in a Windows 10 VM instead.

The truth is it works excellently, it recognizes my printers

I remember reading an article in Linux Format (or perhaps another magazine) that there were issues with PowerPoint which needed to have something done in winecfg to get it working correctly.
