1) I have the following configuration:
printer=true
dpi=360
width=85
height=110
printoutput=printer
multipage=false
docpath=.
timeout=0

[parallel]
# parallel1: parallel1-3 -- set type of device connected to lpt port.
# Can be:
# reallpt (direct parallel port passthrough using Porttalk),
# file (records data to a file or passes it to a device),
# printer (virtual dot-matrix printer, see [printer] section)
# Additional parameters must be in the same line in the form of
# parameter:value.
# for reallpt:
# Windows:
# realbase (the base address of your real parallel port).
# Default: 378
# ecpbase (base address of the ECP registers, optional).
# Linux: realport (the parallel port device i.e. /dev/parport0).
# for file:
# dev:<devname> (i.e. dev:lpt1) to forward data to a device,
# or append:<file> appends data to the specified file.
# Without the above parameters data is written to files in the capture dir.
# Additional parameters: timeout:<milliseconds> = how long to wait before
# closing the file on inactivity (default:500), addFF to add a formfeed when
# closing, addLF to add a linefeed if the app doesn't, cp:<codepage number>
# to perform codepage translation, i.e. cp:437
# for printer:
# printer still has it's own configuration section above.
# parallel2: see parallel1
# parallel3: see parallel1

parallel1=printer
parallel2=disabled
parallel3=disabled

It still goes out to a png file when getting printed.

2) Do I need to redirect the output to the usb printer if this *printer* setup goes out to the real lpt1 port when I want to print with an usb printer?

Thanks
