I have loaded DOSEMU 1.4.0 and am trying to get a old DBL program running which does Accounting. My Linux system is Open SUSE 10.2. The DBL package is running nicely but I am unable to print from the program or from the DOS prompt (eg COPY NAME.BAT LPT1: ) As I understand from the notes I've found that dosemu spools the print to the default Linux printer, which in my case is a USB printer. I can find no discussions on using a USB printer but I assume as it's the Linux default it will just work. A standard "lpr filename" from the Linux command prompt works fine. I have tried altering the dosemu.conf file to enable LPT1 as follows: ## Printer and parallel port settings # Print commands to use for LPT1, LPT2 and LPT3. # Default: "lpr -l", "lpr -l -P lpt2", and "" (disabled) # Which means: use the default print queue for LPT1, "lpt2" queue for LPT2. # "-l" means raw printing mode (no preprocessing). $_lpt1 = "lpr -l" # $_lpt2 = "lpr -l -P lpt2" # $_lpt3 = "" # idle time in seconds before spooling out. Default: (20) $_printer_timeout = (20) This dosemu.conf installed automatically into /etc/dosemu I have tried the configuration in the /etc directory but I still can't print. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
