I have an old (circa 1984) app running in dosemu (works really well,
using the FreeDOS that came with it), but I'm having some trouble
printing. It's on a FC1 box running dosemu-1.2.1.0, and the app is
trying to print to LPT1. I've edited the dosemu.conf file, and setup
the $_printer var to "lp", "lpr -l" (necessary sometimes for cups), and
just "lpr". I've verified that the printer is working, and that cups is
working (printed a test page from cups). I've also done an ls | lpr -P
hp5000, which worked fine. When I try to print from my little MS DOS
app (via dosemu) though, I get the following error:
lpr: unable to print file: client-error-not-found
Any ideas? I'm going to continue googling, but I'm not sure what more
I'm gonna find.
