Check /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf

Look for the printer section and make sure it looks somethign like this:-


############################################################################## ## Printer settings

# list of (/etc/printcap) printer names to appear as LPT1, LPT2, LPT3
# (not all are needed, empty for none). Default: "lp"
# use "" if you want the printer_command (below) free-form (LPT1 only)

$_printer = "pr-fra19"

# Print command to use. Default: "lpr", for "lpr -P printername".
# Sometimes (with CUPS) "lpr -l" is necessary.

$_printer_command = "lpr -l"

# idle time in seconds before spooling out. Default: (20)

# $_printer_timeout = (20)

Hi list,

I have problems while using lprng with dosemu 1.3.1.
In my printcap I have added the following lines:

pr-fra19|remote printer on pr-fra19:\
      :sd=/var/spool/lpd/pr-fra19:\
      :rm=pr-fra19:\
      :rp=text:\
      :bk:sh:mx#0:

The dosemu.conf looks like:

$_printer = "pr-fra19"
$_printer_command = "lpr"

But when I try to print from a application running underdosemu, nothing happens.
So I have started the dosemu with a logfile (dosemu.bin +D-a+w+p -o 
/tmp/dos.log) and found following lines:

LPT: initializing printer <<NODEV>>
LPT: initializing printer <<NODEV>>
LPT: initializing printer <<NODEV>>
LPT: print to non-defined printer LPT3
LPT: print to non-defined printer LPT2
LPT: init printer 0

The printer is plugged on a printbox, that is connected via ethernet with the 
LAN
A testprint from linux (lpr -Ppr-fra19 /etc/xxx) works fine.

Hope someone can help me to fix this problem. A running dosemu (1.1.3-5) works 
fine under SuSE 7.2 / 2.4.16. But
now we have to use SLES9 from SuSE with Kernel 2.6.5-XXX.

lpr command should be "lpr -l" if you are using cups


Hi out there,

no, I am using lprng in Version 3.9.x. I have tried out lpr -l but nothing happens.
Are the entries in the debuglog (LPT: initializing printer <<NODEV>>) ok ?
