printing to cups cups-pdf
Hello,
I'm ultimately trying to have jobs printed from foxpro under dosemu to print to a file. A postscript file would do, but I've been trying to generate a pdf file.
I'm using cups and I've tried setting the printer command to "lp -l" in the config and I specified the printer. When I print from foxpro, a pdf is generated, but it is blank. Just issuing
echo 'hello' | lpr -P printername
works.
Any ideas on how I can get file output from print jobs?

It seems that it may be a character set issue. I got FoxPro to print to a file and here is a line from it.

I think I need some type of character set conversion, but I don't know what it should be yet. Need help.
