I was able to put everything up and running, including printing... *except* printing from clipper apps. I patched DOSEMU to 1.1.4.13, keep using freedos 1.1.28. At the freedos prompt, I can issue: TYPE C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT > LPT1 or TYPE C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT > PRN and everything goes fine, autoexec.bat is printed with no problems. Printing works from many other apps too (from the EDIT freedos editor, for instance), but when I try to print something from an app wrote in CA-clipper, everything is dumped at the screen instead of going to the printer. I contacted the app developer and he had assured me that it uses standard clipper copy-to-lpt1 printing resources. After browsing tons of info on google and lists archives, it seems that many people have clipper apps printing with no trouble at all running dosemu "right out the box". I tweaked $_printer a little, with no results, and now Im completely stuck on this problem. Any tips or info on this situation would be extremely appreciated! Regards, Norman
