How can I print under dosemu?

I have been trying to print with dosemu 1.2.2 running under Slackware 10.2 Linux.

The files I used to install dosemu were:

dosemu-1.2.2-bin.tgz
dosemu-freedos-b9r5-bin.tgz

When I try to print I get an error message:
lpr: error - unable to print file: client-error-not-found

So far I have tried to print from Wordstar 7.0
and using a simple
type filename >lpt1 which is how I have always printed in dos.

There is a line in ~/dosemu/conf/dosemurc that says:
$_printer = "Deskjet500"
which is the printername used in CUPS under Linux.

What command would I use to print a file under dosemu?

Going through my saved files from this mailing list, I noticed that others have had the exact same error message when trying to print.

I just solved the problem and hope others find the info useful.

In my setup, there is a file at /home/user/dosemu/conf/dosemurc with the Deskjet500 printer line.
This file is apparently _NOT_ used by dosemu.

The solution was to copy over dosemurc above to /home/user/.dosemurc.
cp ~/user/dosemu/conf/dosemurc ~/.dosemurc
Note the dot in the target, making it a hidden file.

Dosemu will pick up the directives from the .dosemurc and print from dosemu now works perfectly.
