After your message I thought that maybe my /etc/dosemu/conf maybe faulty and I removed and reinstalled dosemu, but the result stays the same. I have WP 5.1+. I do not have time now, but I will reinstall an older version - the plain 5.1 - and see whether that makes any difference. Johann.

When I used DOS 5.0 or 6.x, WP is rock solid. I have used 5.1 and 6.1 for DOS without problems. Printing works great for me.

Johann I don't recall any special diffculty once I'd got dosemu itself running OK. What appears to be the nature of your problem? Maybe the following tips could be useful. To get the maximum use of all the special keystrokes that WP-5.1 has, you should start dosemu in a Virtual Console (character terminal) with the command dos -C -k. This is also the only mode in which I've managed to get WP's graphics mode working in Linux. You may miss quite a few of the special keys if you run it in xdos, but it's still quite usable. If you start dosemu in an xterm (dos -C, DON'T do dos -C -k) then you again get most of the special keys. A tip: even in DOS days I had the WP-5.1 menu bar, which you jump to with Alt-= (keyboard macro). The Alt-= combination works even in xdos, and allows you access to most of the WP-5.1 functions via the menu, if you find that the usual keystrokes don't work. Best wishes, Ted.

I have used both WP5.1 and 6.0 with dosemu (many versions over the past three years) with no trouble or anything special done to set it up. The only problem is that printing with Ghostscript 4.0 or newer causes a page of errors to be printed after the job completes. This is also true for printing to a file from WP 7.0 and then running that file through gs (and doesn't occur with any other applications), so I expect it is in the WP postscript drivers.
