Well, Redhat seem to have made a habit of shipping the developer releases,
instead of the user releases. That said, I don't think that will make much
of a difference in this case.

One thing to start with - has RedHat configure printers & the printing
system. If it has, it will probably have taken control of the parallel
port(s). You can't have multiple things using them at the same time.
If that doesn't deal with things then try running DOSEMU with debug - I
suppgest printer ('p') and I/O ('i'). This might give some clue as to why
its not communicating properly. ('dos -D-a+pi -o debug.out')
