Hi,
if you use the same port as Linux (for printing) you won't
have success. You can't use one port twice...
If possible try $_printer = "lp" or whatever the Linux-name
of your printer is (see /etc/printcap and /etc/dosemu.conf).
If you _really_ need a bare port you should add a second one,
exclusive for dos. Here it's ok to specify the portaddress.
Maybe you should test the dosemu_0.98.8 or the brand-new 1.0.
Yours 0.99.13 is developer and may have problems!
Hope this helps.
Greetings
Wolfgang

Subject: Help: hot to use LPT1 ?
Hello,
I'm not subscribed to the list so, please, reply me privately or I'll miss
the
answer.
I have dosemu 0.99.13 shipped with RedHat 6.1 and I don't manage to allow a
DOS
program to access a standard LPT1 port.
How do I have to do? I did read the FAQ but:
$_ports { device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f } # lpt1
gives syntax errors and Hans Lermen's suggestion note in the sam FAQ doesn't
work either, as is. I tried with:
$_ports = "device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f"
or with
$_ports = "range 0x378,0x37f"
and many other combinations without success.
Could somebody please send me the exact command to use (or tell me the
"secret
tricks" that I don't know)?
Thank you a lot in advance,
Regards,
Franco
