I am a user of RT in Japan.  I have some trouble on my RT.  
I would be greatful if you help me.

We have external hard disk drive(6156-001, 310MB portable disk).
I have done the installation of this under AIX 2.2.0.
But after installation, it is happened that I can't use a
printer which is connected serial port 1.  (Before installation
I had been able to use lp0.)

I try to print using 'print' command, system shows the message
like this:

QDAEMON (WARRING): cannot open /dev/lp0

and nothing is happened.  The status which is displayed by 
'print -q' command is like this:

dev  arg         status      request               pp output  % done
---  ----------  ----------  --------------------  ---------  ------

lp0    kusa      .cshrc                  2    1  15  20:41  kusa    


The system is 6150 with APC, AFPA with DMA support and Extended 
ESDI ver1.00.  The printer type is osp1(other serial printer 1).

If you know something about this probrem, your help will be
appreciated.  Direct help via BITNET will be also welcomed.
