Do not use "-l" if you intend to use a DOS program that doesn't have a prin=
ter=20
driver for your particular printer. "-l" bypasses the CUPS printer driver,=
=20
only the CUPS spooler is used in that case.

If you have a fairly new USB printer, it's unlikely your DOS program has a=
=20
driver for it. In that case, you have to install an ascii print queue and=20
your DOS program may only print text, not graphics. Other solutions need a=
=20
printer language converter (e.g. EPSON ESC/P -> Postscript). I know some fo=
r=20
MS-Windows, but none for Linux, maybe someone else does?

Kind regards
