Printing under dosemu 1.1.5

Printing under dosemu 1.1.5

[Ralph Alvy]

I'm a newbie to dosemu and Linux. I have almost everything working under 
dosemu 1.1.5 I need, except that I can't print under it. I have this as 
my printer setting:

	$_printer = "lp"

But any attempt to print from dosemu gives me an error message talking 
about the printer not existing. However, I can print from X applications 
with no problem.

Hi Ralph,

Paste your /etc/printcap file for us to see.

Thanks for the reply, Ryan. Here's what my /etc/printcap:

LexMark:\
	:ml#0:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/LexMark:\
	:af=/var/spool/lpd/LexMark/LexMark.acct:\
	:sh:\
	:lp=/dev/lp0:\
	:lpd_bounce=true:\
	:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

HP6P:\
	:ml#0:\
	:mx#0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP6P:\
	:af=/var/spool/lpd/HP6P/HP6P.acct:\
	:sh:\
	:lp=/dev/lp0:\
	:lpd_bounce=true:\
	:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

Ralph,

$_printer should equal one of the entries from printcap. In your case, 
so $_printer = "LexMark" or $_printer = "HP6P".

Re: Printing under dosemu 1.1.5

[Ryan Underwood]

Hi Ralph,

You should be able to simply set $_printer = "LexMark" or $_printer =
"HP6P", depending on which you want to print to.

You could also make one of them titled in the printcap as
lp|LexMark:\ ...
or 
lp|HP6P:\ ...

whichever one you use there would also be known as "lp" and would be the
default printer under most circumstances.

HTH,

Ryan
