Hello, i am using dosemu 1.3.4.0 and freedos to use an internal clipper application in my point of sale systems, all works ok but barcode printing, well it is not barcode problems, it works very well sending raw format to the printer, the problem it is that when i send many prints it is very slow, it takes a long time between prints (about 10 seconds) so if you have to print thousands of barcodes it is too slow, i was using cups linux servers with samba and sending the jobs with windows client machines so i know it is not a cups or pos app. problem, i have no problem printing sells tickets because they are only one print job for every sell, i have tried different ways of improve printing speed without luck, the hogthreshold or the printer_timeout either helps, i have tried to using this like print command $_lpt1 = "cat - > /dev/lp0" to try to know if it is a cups problem, i would like to try to do direct hardware access to see if dosemu prints faster than using externals commands but i have problems with direct hardware access, i have used this in my dosemu.conf: $_ports = " device /dev/lp0 fast range 0x378 0x37a" $_irqpassing = "7" parport0 have this configuration in my test machine, and launched dosemu with "dosemu -s" like root, but i dont know how to disable the use of printers commands, it keeps trying printing redirection, if i comment the $_lpt# lines it simply assumes defaults one so i can not disable, any idea to speed up multiple printing jobs in dosemu? Thanks in advance.
