hi,
i need direct access to lpt1 for the dongle and printer, but dosemu wants only
print to lpr :-(
i had:
$_printer = "none"
$_printer = "" or
#$_printer = "none"
what can i do?

Hello.

Yes, because dosemu doesn't have a
necessary bios part for driving the
parport. So you can't print using a
direct access.
Perhaps you can find some TSR which
will substitute the relevant bios
part, perhaps you can port the part
of a Bochs bios to dosemu, but that
all would be a pain.
The easiest way would be to stick with
lpr for printing. Besides, it is much
more flexible (remote printing etc).
Maybe you can use LPT1 for printing
via lpr, and LPT2 for dongle via the
direct access?
