You must set your DOS application to print to a PostScript printer so CUPS can translate it. There might be a way to convert the output on-the-fly if it's not PostScript to print it with CUPS but I am not aware of how that functions. I stick to printers that support PCL and PostScript as they are compatible with just about anything. Do you see a completed job in CUPS? I use a script to e-mail documents "printed" to PCL format, maybe it can help you troubleshoot: #! /bin/bash EMAIL_TO=you@xxxxxxxxxxxx EMAIL_FROM=$USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx SUBJECT="Email Report" # Config above # Do not edit below EPOCH=`date +%s` || exit 1 PRNTFILE=`mktemp /root/printjobs/pdfprint.XXXXXXXXXX` || exit 1 PDFFILE=`mktemp /root/pdfs/XXX` || exit 1 rm $PDFFILE cat "$@" >> $PRNTFILE pcl6 -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$PDFFILE$EPOCH.pdf $PRNTFILE #rm $PRNTFILE echo Your report is attached as a .pdf file. | mail -a $PDFFILE$EPOCH.pdf -r $EMAIL_FROM -s "$SUBJECT" $EMAIL_TO ~ -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A.
