[Simh] VAX780 LPT problem OpenVMS

Hello all,

I'm trying to configure the LPT under OpenVMS. The system seems to  
recognize it, cause if I issue a SHOW DEV LP, I can LPA0: Online and  
spooled.
But, if I try to start a PRINT queue, I have an error NO SUCH DEVICE!

If I do a SHOW PRINTER LPA0 I have a strange output, the device is a  
RA72! This should be a DISK, isn't it? So why LPA0 is recognized as a  
RA72, I should expect an LP11 or something...

Did anyone setup successfully the LPT under OpenVMS 7.3 ?

Thanks,
Fausto
