I'm not sure about RH 7.1, but what DOSEMU does for printing is: collect all DOS printing output in a temporary file flush the file at regular intervals (using a timeout) if you specify $_printer = "lp" in dosemu.conf then the temporary file is printed like this: lpr -P lp tempfile just like when I printed my thesis like lpr -P HP4550 thesis.ps does this command not work in RH 7.1 on ordinary files? And if not, how do you print a file in RH 7.1? pdq?
