dosemu printing problems

dosemu printing problems

[Kevin Attard Compagno]

I cannot get my dosemu install to print.

Relevant dosemu.conf entries are:

<snip>

$_printer = "lp"  # list of (/etc/printcap) printer names to appear as
                  # LPT1, LPT2, LPT3 (not all are needed, empty for
none)
$_printer_timeout = (20)    # idle time in seconds before spooling out

$_ports = ""      # list of portnumbers such as "0x1ce 0x1cf 0x238"
                  # or "0x1ce range 0x280,0x29f 310"
                  # or "range 0x1a0,(0x1a0+15)"

</snip>

/etc/printcap contents are:

-------
# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the
# /etc/cups/printers.conf file.  All changes to this file
# will be lost.
Brother_HL_820:
-------

I tried changing dosemu.conf to read:

$_printer = "Brother_HL_820:"

but no luck

Distribution is Mandrake V9.0
dosemu version is 1.0.2.1
FreeDos version is 1.1.24c
also tried with MS-DOS 4.00.950 (Windows 95 DOS)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks and Regards
