Now that I have got my FreeDOS setup working correctly again (a fresh setup and copying over my old apps sorted it), I am looking into how I might be able to print from some apps (normally they expect a directly connected printer supporting either ESC/P2 or PCL). I have not found anything about IPP being possible from FreeDOS, but if it is, that would certainly help. However, the other alternative in my case would be LPR. I have not found a package with LPR yet, and most links I have found around the web either include anything but a binary or are broken. I see mention of a source file for it as part of WATTCP but have no idea how to get it, nor how to build it once obtained.
Of course, there might not be a successful way to get usable output, but any suggestions would be welcome. (The printer would be accessible directly or through cups running on the host Linux system - and there may even be ways to provide any additional filters required at that level - it is outside the scope of this question to worry about that.) -- Phil Reynolds mail: phil-free...@tinsleyviaduct.com Web: http://phil.tinsleyviaduct.com/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
