Have you read the OS/8 handbook? It tells you pretty much everything there
is to know about OS/8. You can find a copy on bitsavers,
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp8/os8/
I've never used the OS/8 image that comes with simh so I’m only guessing, but
it sounds like it doesn't have a device driver for the printer (it's called a
device "handler" in OS/8 lingo) installed. You'll need to install one. It
tells you how to do that in the handbook.
