Possibly a silly question, but does anyone know how to get the printer to work
on TOPS-10 on simh? I have attached a printer files to the printer device but
the printer and the spooler fills up with output on TOPS-10, but the the
printer stays offline in TOPS-10 and I cant find out how to get it online.
My startup scripts as follows:
set tim y2k
att rp0 disks/t10.dsk
att lp20 printer.out
set dz 8b
att -am dz 2020
boot rp0
When I get TOPS-10 up and try to print I can’t seem to get it to do anything:
