Re: printing

[Ivan Baldo <ibaldo@adinet.com.uy>]

     Hello.
     That file that you attached seems unrelated to the problem.
     If the "cat" commands don't work then we can exclude CUPS from the 
problem, the way that the program prints seems to not be compatible with 
DOSEmu.
     From my part, I don't know what else to suggest :-(.
     Do you have the source code of the program? Can you see exactly how 
it prints?
     Good luck!!!
P.s.: maybe you can try to use QEmu-KVM or Virtual Box or VMWare or 
another virtualization technology to run DOS and the program.
