Re: printing

[Vedran Vucic <vedran.vucic@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Dosemu prints normally on that print. Issuing command dir>prn prints normally.
DOS application that I use creates prn files and it worked well with
postscript printers.
I will take yur script into consideration, but I Think that I should
put in dosemu.conf that it should print prn files.
Please advise if I am wrong.

Thanks,

Vedran Vucic
