PrintScreen

[Jan Willem Stumpel]

Pressing the PrtSc key in dosemu (1.1.4.0) prints the (text)
screen, which is a nice surprise.

However, it seems that in my system PrtSc always prints to the
"lp" printer. I would like it to print to another printer I
defined (with a different lpd filter, using the "PC" character set
to print the box characters correctly).

Specifying a different printer in dosemu.conf works for "normal"
DOS printing (printing from applications and COPYing to LPT1), but
not for PrtSc: the printer always seems to be "lp". Can anyone
confirm this? Is there a fix?

Regards, Jan

Why? I can assure you you'll have
the same also with 1.1.3.
What did you expect anyway? :)

Maybe the attached patch can help?
