I forward this because Vedran can't get his mail through. ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Subject: Re: dosemu drive D: Date: Sonntag, 25. November 2007 19:12 From: "Vedran Vucic" <vedran.vucic@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Claudia Neumann" <dr.claudia.neumann@xxxxxx> hello, It is interesting that the same DOS application printed wonderfully with dosemu 1.2.2 but I have problem with dosem 1.4.0 even more challenging is that for example: copy autoexec.bat lpt2: works fine and printer prints that well. Thus, to be more focused and precise, a part that interacts DOS application with dosemu is somehow problematic. Actually, DOS application that printed well with USB desktJet 845C HP in doesmu 1.2.2. but with USB LaserJet HP 1020 in dosemu 1.4.0 does not print except when I put in /dosemurc that printer is raw. but, in teh later case it prints in distorted and garbled way. Maybe you can check discussion on: http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum (you will see thread related with HP 1020 LAser Jet and my topic about DOS/BOX won't print. Where I ask author of driver are there any advices from his side. If you have anyideas please let me know. regards, vedran On 11/25/07, Claudia Neumann <dr.claudia.neumann@xxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Vedran! > > DOSemu is reacting as DOS.
