Printing to epson-compatable with A/UX 2.01?

[Greg Morrison]

We've just installed A/UX 2.0.1, and are now trying to print to an
epson-compatable printer, connected to the Mac's printer port.  We
used lpadmin to define the printer, using /dev/tty1 and the model
'dumb', started lpsched, and used accept and enable.  But... no luck.

Using the lpr command generated a series of messages
   
   atstatus:No printer selected by Macintosh chooser

The chooser didn't provide any useful possibilities:  even trying to
choose an Imagewriter and the printer port (though our printer isn't
an Imagewriter) couldn't be done.

Using the lp command also failed to produce any printout.  Checking
with lpstat -t reported:

   printer ssrb108 disabled --
      disabled by scheduler:  can't open /dev/tty1

Any ideas about what to do?  I should say that we have just ordered
the System Admin Manual Kit (in which I suspect the answer may be
found), but it would be nice to sort this out without waiting a few
weeks.  The A/UX Version 1 system admin manual doesn't help, as far as
I can see.

Thanks,
