Not so much newsworthy, but 2 weeks ago I stumbled by accident on the
serial option for the LA180 (Decprinter I). My offer was accepted and I
got the card 2 days ago. I installed it this afternoon and after
configuring
it and checking the jumpers on the main board, it now works as a serial
printer.
Tomorrow I'm going to connect it with simh and see if printing jobs
will get processed as well.

The LA180 is probably my favorite DEC printer.

If you have time can you post the simh info, what steps you took to connect
to the printer from os/8?

Hi.
I'm not familiar with OS/8, but what I do for RSX-11M is to attach a
Unix serial line to a DZ11 line and within RSX I have a printer queue
which uses that DZ11 line for output.
What I need to try as well is to use the simh lpt device and see if
that will also work. I guess 'att lpt /dev/tty05' could do the trick.
