But the application (which does a set output to printer or however that was called in dbase) freezes when trying to print. Listing the information on the screen works though. Is there anything special about the dbase/fox stuff?

Hello,
I'm trying to get some ancient applications to run on Mandrake 9.2, dosemu-1.1.99.1- 1.i586.rpm. Everything goes well, except for printing. The bloody apps seem to be written in Fox or Dbase.
dmesg output:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: irq 7 detected
parport0: Printer, EPSON LX-300+
parport1: PC-style at 0x278 (0x678) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport1: irq 5 detected
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
lp1: using parport1 (polling).
I have added the user to the lp group, that has write access to /dev/lp0 and /dev/lp1, specified user c_all in dosemu.users, set dosemu.bin suid root, placed
$_ports = "device /dev/lp0 range 0x378 0x37a"
$_ports = $_ports, " device /dev/lp1 range 0x278 0x27a"
$_irqpassing = "5 7"
in dosemu.conf, yet the good ole d 40:0 line in debug shows only zeroes on the first line.
Obviously the apps do not work, and I'm very much out of ideas. Everything goes OK with just ms-dos or Windows on the same system, but that is in no way a solution. Any other hints please?
Thank you, Razvan
