Printing seems to be working with the default settings in 1.4.0-2.  I'm
not sure if it's dosemu or something else that has changed.

So I think this can be closed as fixed.

For the record, the solution I was using with dosemu 1.2 was (in
my .dosemurc):
# list of (/etc/printcap) printer names to appear as LPT1, LPT2, LPT3
# (not all are needed, empty for none). Default: "lp"
# use "" if you want the printer_command (below) free-form (LPT1 only)

# $_printer = "lp"
$_printer = ""
$_printer_command = "lp -o raw -"
# Print command to use. Default: "lpr", for "lpr -P printername".
# Sometimes (with CUPS) "lpr -l" is necessary.

The comments are from the default config file for 1.2; the configuration
continues to work in 1.4.  I then commented out the active lines to test
the default 1.4 configuration; I restarted dosemu after doing so.

There are several tricks:
_printer needs to be blanked out.
The printer command needs to use "-o raw -" so that it leaves the
postscript alone and reads the input its handed from stdin.  (I know I
tried -l without luck; perhaps I just needed the "-" argument.)

This particular situation involves
1) cups
2) DOS application producing postscript
3) printer able to handle postscript
