OG process notes:

Installing WindLDR in wine, or crossover:
before making your bottle, install cups, cups-pdf before making the WindLDR bottle
make sure cups is running.
else WindLDR isnt smart enough to find a virtual printer.

$ln-s /var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER ~/.cxoffice/[YOUR_BOTTLE]/dosdevices/c:

this takes care of the inability to print.
WindLDR is the only component of the suite with this issue.


sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo apt install winetricks
$ winetricks corefonts
$ winetricks allfonts

how to use wintricks in crossover:
Enviornmental Variable:
WINEPREFIX=~/.cxoffice/YOUR_BOTTLE_NAME winetricks

This (should ) take care of various issues related to missing fonts.
most notable: Veranda is the default, although we are using Western.

sudo apt install libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt install linux-tools-virtual hwdata

add user to plugdev if not previously there:
$sudo usermod -aG plugdev $USER

Write a udev rule:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", MODE="0666"

Save file, reload udev rules:
$sudo udevadm control --reload-rules


## WHY 99-rules file? NN-device-rules, NN sets priority, 99 is a low priority.



link the device to com1 in wine or crossover:
$ ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 ~/.cxoffice/[YOUR_BOTTLE]/dosdevices/com1


previus error was like USB port not found:
(IT basic instructions)

Current error:
lol none fixed it.
