I tried changing a terminal server (DS700) from LAT to TELNET and the
printer stopped advancing the paper after a line was printed.

My INIT line in OpenVMS V6.2 reads:

$ INITIALIZE /QUEUE TEST - 
  /START -
  /ON="10.3.4.0:2001" -
  /PROCESSOR=UCX$TELNETSYM -
  /FORM=DEFAULT -
  /DEFAULT=FEED -
  /RETAIN=ERROR 

I setup the telnet listener on 10.3.4.0 like:

CHA TELNET LISTENER 2001 PORT 8 
CHA TELNET LISTENER 2001 CONNECTIONS ENABLED

With just this the printer rarely did Line feeds.

What I did to correct this was:
CHA PO 8 TELNET SERVER NEWLINE TO HOST NONE
CHA PO 8 TELNET SERVER NEWLINE FROM TERM NONE

Now while this gets the printer working (Its a DEC LA30W, btw) it doesn't
do formfeeds at the end of the job, even with the /feed parameter.

I think I'm missing something, so can anybody enlighten me?

Thanks!
