SCSI Printers: LaserWriter II SC or Personal LaserWriter SC

Hello,

This is a far shot but:

Got three IIsc logic boards, and I'm unable to select the printer on the chooser. I think I got the right driver (LaserWriter IIsc from early system 6, Personal LW SC for late versions and System 7).

What's happening: the boards do boot up and after about 10 seconds the two RED leds blink after 10 seconds (Canon status engine timeout because I don't have any working Canon engine around), which is expected

The boards do show up in SCSIProbe and TattleTech, but the chooser list is always empty. Tried with 6.0.5, 6.0.8 and 7.1.1 and no change.
I also tried to put a fake printer in Snow, and same results. The only data that goes to the fake printer is the IDENTIFY command which is faked just fine (SCSI

Do any of you have such a working printer around and can post a screenshot with the printer visible in chooser ? A floppy disk image would help as well
I'm trying to understand the protocol used, but I'm stuck since neither the real hardware nor my virtual one do show up in the Chooser

Thanks
 
Just as a note if other people end up there: You cannot select a IIsc or Personal LaserWriter SC in the chooser list (on the right, where AppleShare servers pops up)

The list doesn't work and is unused. What the driver will to is actually scan your SCSI bus and use the first compatible printer found.
So to use one of theses just select "Personal LW SC" or "LaserWriter IIsc" by clicking in the icon and close the window. You might get a warning about checking printer settings in applications
