Actually cups was setup on the client computer (the one uses dosemu 1.0.2.1 and clipper) and it prints to windows printer via smb. I use ppd-o-matic to generate ppd for epson fx1170 at linuxprinting.org. I've tried to configure using existing drivers and drivers form cups-drivers it doesn't print well until i got the ppd anyhow, the clipper prints in a plain text format. i will try the raw printer.
