You have what I belive to be a winprinter meaning it does not work with PCL5 or PostScript languages. Therefore configure your DOS program to print to a PostScript driver and CUPS should handle the translation. If my assumptions about your printer are correct, setting your printer to use HP LaserJet III driver in CUPS will not work, and I never saw a PostScript printer that didnt support PCL5. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A.
