Dosemu and printing.

Dosemu and printing.

[Pawel Dlugosz]

Hi,

I'm sure there is a simple explanation
of my problem, however, so far, I'm
failing to find the answer.

There is a small clipper-like app
which I use under dosemu and what I
want is to be able to print from
it directly to lp0.
And this of course works fine,
but apart from normal characters
which are printed out there are
special codes visible also like:
^[&18C
^[(s9H

I presume I have to modify
input filter in my /etc/printcap
but I don't know how.

I'm using latest apsfilter and LPRng.

dosemu is 1.2.1

/etc/printcap:

lp|ijs/DESKJET_640;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto:\
     :lp=/dev/null:\
     :if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
     :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
     :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
     :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
     :mx#0:\
     :sh:

Wild guess but maybe you need to load ANSI.SYS in CONFIG.SYS.

Thanks for the tip but I only needed to add another
printer from apsfilter setup with printing method
set to 'raw'. Simple as that when You know how
to do this ;)
