the only way to solve it is to think hard about a solution and implement it into dosemu (ie. non-trivial). > What's the role of the timeout parameter in the printing command? printing in dosemu is pretty basic, it just collects whatever the DOS applications (or DOS itself) sends to the BIOS (int17, there is NO parallel port emulation) in a buffer and flushes the buffer using the command (lpr or vtprint in your case) every timeout time units.
