I'm sending this again, because it did not seem to go through the first
time.
My objective is to be able to print to a file and to a postscript
printer from FoxPro on Dosemu. I do have printing working, but have
problems.
For printing to a file, I'm using the cups-pdf plugin. The pdf files
are being created, but they are blank. I've configured the print
command both as "lpr" and "lpr -l" with the same result.
When I print to a postscript printer, It uses 50 pages of paper for a
job that should use 1 or 2 pages. This printer prints a proper test
page from cups.
I suspect this is a characterset problem as referenced in the cups
section of the resource below.

When I send output directly to a file in FoxPro, I have wierd characters
such as this:
^[EPub_ws^[F
11/22/2005
If it is the problem referenced in the Dosemu for Dummies article, that
I need a filter. The procedure referenced is for lpd. How might I go
about this for CUPS?
