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
[...]
helps, i have tried to using this like print command $_lpt1 = "cat - > /dev/lp0" to try to know if it is a cups problem,
In principle, what the DOSEMU printer driver does is to use line buffering (flushes every CR/LF) and if it has been inactive for a while (timeout seconds) it will close the pipe. I'm wondering what the output is, perhaps there are no CR/LF's?
$_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,
In principle the $_ports line overrides the $_lpt configuration. Normally anything that goes to port 0x378 - 0x37a is intercepted and processed by $_lpt1, but if you use $_ports it's not intercepted and goes straight to the hardware. But please send a log of dosemu -s -D+ip -o log perhaps something goes wrong.
