Hi

like shown above, my printersection looks like yours. The parameter
"-l" works only with cups - I am using lprng.
But I compared it with a running dosemu (1.1.3) on an other linuxsystem
and the debuglog (dos -D -a+p) showes me the following difference between
dosemu 1.1.3 and 1.3.1:

dosemu 1.1.3
------------
CONF(LPT0) f: (null)   c: lpr  o: -Ppr-goe01 %s  t: 20  port: 378

dosemu 1.3.1
------------
CONF(LPT0) f: (null)   c: lpr  o: -Ppr-goe01 t: 20  port: 0

So I am missing the "%s" parameter. How can I add this one to the dosemu.conf ?
