Questions: 

Can the telnet symbiont support multiple printers the same way that LAT
symbionts do?
If so how is it implemented?  If not, why not?
Thanks

    One can certainly have multiple TELNET print queues (and multiple
    symbionts) connected to a single OpenVMS host, and one can have a
    single OpenVMS queue feeding jobs into several print queues.

    As for the internal implementation and the options available within
    a particular symbiont, that can vary over symbiont releases.

    For information on creating symbionts, please see the documentation
    of the PSM and SMB routines in the OpenVMS manual set.  (Recent
    versions of the TELNET symbiont do support multiple threads.)

    As for having the TELNET symbiont "release" the printer for access
    from another IP node, recent versions of UCX also support that...
    Please see the TELNET print symbiont (TELNETSYM) chapter in the 
    DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX) Management manual.
