I'm a newbie to dosemu and Linux. I have almost everything working under
dosemu 1.1.5 I need, except that I can't print under it. I have this as
my printer setting:
$_printer = "lp"
But any attempt to print from dosemu gives me an error message talking
about the printer not existing. However, I can print from X applications
with no problem.

Hi Ralph,
Paste your /etc/printcap file for us to see.

Thanks for the reply, Ryan. Here's what my /etc/printcap:
LexMark:\
:ml#0:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/LexMark:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/LexMark/LexMark.acct:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:
HP6P:\
:ml#0:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP6P:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/HP6P/HP6P.acct:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:\
:lpd_bounce=true:\
:if=/usr/share/printconf/util/mf_wrapper:

Ralph,
$_printer should equal one of the entries from printcap. In your case,
so $_printer = "LexMark" or $_printer = "HP6P".

Thanks, Rick. Worked like a charm.

Hi Ralph,
You should be able to simply set $_printer = "LexMark" or $_printer =
"HP6P", depending on which you want to print to.
You could also make one of them titled in the printcap as
lp|LexMark:\ ...
or
lp|HP6P:\ ...
whichever one you use there would also be known as "lp" and would be the
default printer under most circumstances.
HTH,
Ryan
