Very Computer

Installed the Specialix SI-8 succesfully with OS5 on a ProSignia, now
I want to add printers. In scoadmin->Printers the devices installed by
custom are not visible in the selection allthough they are in
/dev/tty[aA]0[1-8] and I ran the good old sysadmsh to assign these new
devices to the terminal database as printers.

Does anybody have a pointer into the confusing online documentation or
an idea how to get the devices into the selection of the printer
administration shell.

Hint: when I use lpadmin to install the printer, I can assign
e.g. ttya06 to my printer and it appears in the selection of
Settings->Serial Comm but not in Adding Local Printer after using
lpadmin.

   Roman, I checked the Specialix ftp site an hour ago, and didn't see any new
   drivers since 7.03 for ODT 3.0. What driver are you using?

Hello,

I finally got it running with 7.03, but still the problem with the
printer admnin shell exists. I can add a printer with lpadmin and any
tty I wish, but I can't select this tty from within the printer admin
shell. That's the only problem left over now.

I got an answer from Specialix that the 8.x Specialix SLXOS will be
available within the next two weeks (you can already see a footprint
of it on Specialix' ftp server, buts it's chmod 600).

: I was told some weeks ago (~6) by Specialix, they were producing a v8.0 for
: OSE 5 - release date TBA.

I've been waiting for it for a couple of installations now, and they
keep saying RSN (Real Soon Now).  It was supposed to be out by the end
of July (I think that was 1995).
