I have 2 networked printers. Both are set up in printer administration
to use lpd/lpr. Both print from OpenOffice etc. and both print from the
command line with 'lpr -P NetPrinter some_file_name'. The printer names
are listed in /etc/hosts.
However, whatever I do, I cannot get a DOS accounting program nor M$
Word 5.0 to print to any output at all.
I have tried myriad combinations of lines in dosemu.conf including
$_printer = "NetPrinter"
$-printer = "lpr"
and
$_printer = "lpd://192.168.1.11/lp0"
And various versions of the following line, including making the
$_printer definition a null "" and putting the entire command in the
following:
#$_printer_command = "lpr -l, lpr -l, lpr -l"
The instructions strongly imply that this should "just work". HA!
Anyone have any ideas/ btw this is all as root...

Don't you need to map the printers to either a com or lpt port for DOS
programs to be able to print?
