only lpt1: does printing

Hi!

Everything is quite fine with dosemu but I'm going crazy with the printer configuration.
I use dosemu on SuSE 8.2 and 9.0 and I downloaded the newest release 1.2 but printing does only on LPT1:. I've tested several possibilities. None...
In the boot.log there is no change.
CONF(LPT0) f: (null) c: lpr o: -Plp t: 20 port: 0
CONF(LPT1) f: (null) c: lpr o: '' t: 20 port: 0
The docu says I can list several printers separated with , in $_printer. No change.
When I enter "copy autoexec.bat lpt2:" dosemu prints "lpr: Unable to access "" - No such file or directory" Is this a bug?
Maybe my fault? I don't know.
The docu's and Google didn't help.
Can you help me?

Ciao
Jürgen

That's strange: if I put
$_printer = "lp1,lp2,lp3"
in ~/.dosemurc
I get

CONF(LPT0) f: (null) c: lpr o: -Plp1 t: 20 port: 0
CONF(LPT1) f: (null) c: lpr o: -Plp2 t: 20 port: 0
CONF(LPT2) f: (null) c: lpr o: -Plp3 t: 20 port: 0
CONF(LPT3) f: (null) c: lpr o: '' t: 20 port: 0

The last entry is indeed a strange animal but should not hurt -- important difference with you is that I get the other printers listed (in dosemu 1.2.1)
