"-l" bypasses the CUPS printer driver, only the CUPS spooler is used in that case. If you have a fairly new USB printer, it's unlikely your DOS program has a driver for it. In that case, you have to install an ascii print queue and your DOS program may only print text, not graphics. Other solutions need a printer language converter (e.g. EPSON ESC/P -> Postscript). I know some for MS-Windows, but none for Linux, maybe someone else does? Kind regards Jan -- Je tiefer der Abgrund, desto höher der Himmel.
