Thanks for the help, but I would prefer not to re-compile dosemu(installed from the openSUSE package, currently) I am wondering ifthere is a reason why it does not work with COM1? Is the way COM1handled different than LPT? Also, how does the change printers script work? Because the printers(LPT1-3) are configured in the global dosemu.conf file.
