    I never heard (read) that TCPIP$TELNETSYM can't handle form definitions
    (correctly). AFAIK TELNETSYM doesn't differ from LATSYM in this respect.

    However, it is true that the LPD symbiont doesn't interpret/use form
    definitions properly - and that's why we always use relay queues with
    TCPIP$TELNETSYM (!) to format the pages (with form definitions) and relay
    the print to a LPD queue.

    Are you sure that TELNETSYM is the problem? Did you add the correct setup
    library ( /LIBRARY=... ) to the TELNET print queue?
