DOS ain't dead

problem setting DOSBOX X com and lpt on Lubuntu (DOSX)

What I linked above is a page about a printer setup from dosbox-x site. It gives the following example:

[parallel]
parallel1=reallpt realport:/dev/parport0

Although they note that your username should also be in the 'lp' user group. If it isn't you can try adding it via usermod:

sudo usermod -a -G lp username


They also note:

"in the case of a USB parallel port adapter the first parallel port will be /dev/usblp0, but it is unclear if a USB parallel port adapter will work".

So YMMV with USB to LPT adapters.
