Mark,

The message you are receiving (lpr: unable to print file:=20
client-error-not-found) is a cups message, not dosemu.

Probably it is not a dosemu problem, but cups, configuration. Look the=20
configuration files: /etc/cups/mime.types  and uncomment following line=
:

application/octet-stream

Also in /etc/cups/mime.convs, uncomment the line

application/octet-stream      application/vnd.cups-raw          0

I had a similar problem here and uncommenting these lines worked fine f=
or me.=20
I did not have to change the $_printer_command option.

Hope this can help you.
