You need to uncomment and modify the line:
$_printer_command = "lpr" to make it be:
$_printer_command = "lp -o raw'
This *should* do raw printing for you.... but you may need to tweak other things as well. Most of the information has been in these replies but if you need more help, come on back with questions.

~ the error message that I continue to receive, is :-
/var/log/cups :
"print_job: resource name '/printers/lp' no good!"
At a guess - You do not have a printer named 'lp' Somewhere in the config you have to specify a printer that is valid.

the DOSemu configuration file in my home dosemu directory, is called " ~/.dosemurc " { I believe that it is ~/.dosemurc that I am supposed to adjust, rather than "global.conf" }

this is how the "Printer" section of " ~/.dosemurc " looks :- .................................
## Printer settings
# list of (/etc/printcap) printer names to appear as LPT1, LPT2, LPT3 # (not all are needed, empty for none). Default: "lp" # use "" if you want the printer_command (below) free-form (LPT1 only)
# $_printer = "lp"
Change this setting to your actual printer name e.g. "Stylus COLOR 200" Check the name is correct using the following command lpstat -a
# Nov. 15. 2004 # printer { file "/usr/tmp/dos-print-1" timeout 10 } # printer { file "/dev/lp0" timeout 10 }
# printer { command "lpr" options "-p %s" timeout 10 }
# Nov. 16. 2004
# $_ports = "device /dev/lp0 fast range 0x3bc 0x3bf" # lpt0
# Print command to use. Default: "lpr", for "lpr -P printername". # Sometimes (with CUPS) "lpr -l" is necessary. # $_printer_command = "lpr -l -P Stylus COLOR 200" # $_printer_command = "lpr"
# idle time in seconds before spooling out. Default: (20)
# $_printer = "lp0"
Try this command it should be right
# $_printer_command = "lpr -l"
# $_printer_timeout = (20)

Is there, please, anything obvious, that could produce error message "print_job: resource name '/printers/lp' no good!" ?

my Printer is an Epson Stylus Color 200 , on /dev/lp0
See my inline comments. To make sure the printer name is correct use lpstat -a which will list all your printers and their status. man lpstat for more info. Best of luck! -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
