LPT1 to lpr

[shanku]

Hi,
can I map LPT1: to a command e.g. "|lpr"

How can I use this? From my applications I only see the printers from
my CUPS. How can I use a pritner like LPT1:
now I'm using Wine 1.1.9
Regards,

Yes, just edit registry. Ex:

Code: Select all

[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\mx310series]
"Port"="|lpr"

How can I use this? From my applications I only see the printers from
my CUPS. How can I use a pritner like LPT1:

Same way as a normal printer - you select it then print to it.

Thanks for your reply.....
But printing was not done ...
I'm configure a network Dot Matrix printer which was configure by CUPS. When I print at Linux Terminal command is below

shanku:~/Desktop #lpr - l FILENAME.TXT

Print was OK but When I print through wine

shanku:~/Desktop # wine cmd
CMD Version 1.1.9

Z:\root\Desktop>type FILENAME.TXT > prn

Print was not done

Please Help me

Z:\root\Desktop>type FILENAME.TXT > prn

2 things:
1. NEVER run Wine as root: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-96bebfa ... 78b0d41014
2. Use notepad to test printing. Wine's cmd has all sorts of problems

I solve my problem

shanku:~ # wine cmd
CMD Version 1.1.9

Z:\root>/usr/bin/lpr - l FILENAME.TXT
