Okay, Jan's solution looked like the simple solution to the 3 I got (thank you Frank and Rafal for yours - I'll keep your solutions on the side) I removed the -l from the dosemu.conf file (it now reads $_lpt1 = "lpr" and the printer now allows me to print from the DOS command line. That's a big step forward for me and I will test out the DBL program now and see if it will print all that it requires. I will let you guys know what the results are. Thanks very much to you all.
