I hope I'm in the right place to try a few questions. I'm running a Gentoo box with dosemu installed. dosemu itself seems fine for running the old text-based program I need to run, but I'm perplexed at how to get dosemu to print to my Linux printer.
1) In /etc/dosemu.conf I've enabled the line:
$_printer_command = "lpr"
2) From Linux I can print (through CUPS) to the network printer:
Gentoo2 root # lpr /etc/dosemu.conf Gentoo2 root # lpq HP is ready and printing Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size active root 221 dosemu.conf 16384 bytes Gentoo2 root # lpq HP is ready no entries Gentoo2 root #
3) From within dosemu I cannot seem to find the right command to get to lpr:
C:\>copy autoexec.bat prn: autoexec.bat => prn
C:\>lpr: unable to print file: client-error-not-found
C:\>copy autoexec.bat lpr: Invalid parameter. - 'lpr:'
I've seen others that had this error on the web but I cannot find an answer to any of their queries. Hopefully I will do better here.
