Nice :) > 1. Get IP networking running on the freedos VM. What can be doen is install Windows client for dos (It is free), you will have to find the driver for the board emulated by VMware.

I do it in Dosemu using GhostPcl: http://www.artifex.com/downloads/ it takes a Laserjet fila as input and outputs it to any Linux printer. What I am not sure is if you can make VMware sent printer output to a file or Linux program. You should try dosemu with FreeDOS, some things are simpler there ;-) only one thing I know that cannot work: network file locking has problems...
