I’m new here.
Hello, and welcome. :)
I newly installed FreeDOS to my Hp Compaq NX6110 laptop. Everything
is working properly. I configured my network card. And i can connect
to the internet. I can ping to a computer on the local network and
also to a DNS names. It’s ok for that.
I also wanted to connect and send prints to my laser printer that
connected our local network. I can send data to it via command. But
i also want to send prints from DOS Apps via LPT port [which] is
commonly used by many DOS apps. At that point i need advice that
help me to configure my FreeDOS for LPT print.
I have looked online for the specifications of your computer. It is
clear to me that it has no parallel port device. FreeDOS cannot use
some of the recent interface types which might be used to provide a
legacy hardware device e.g. to Windows operating systems.
How will you provide the hardware for FreeDOS to use?
In any case don't forget that a laser printer is a page printer, not a
line printer and that many old DOS applications will not know that; so
even if you manage to connect PRN: hardware to your computer you might
then also need to find a way for example to send a form feed character
from the DOS app after it sends part of a page to the laser printer.
