I am trying to setup a LPD queue on my Alpha running VMS 6.2
and Multinet 3.5B. The queue doesn't map to another computer
as a host, but to an ethernet print server. I have not been
able to supress the form feed at the beginning of a job.
My print queue configuration is the following:

$ DEFINE/FORM HPIVLJ/SETUP=FONTS
$
INIT/QUEUE/PROCESSOR=MULTINET_LPD_SYMBIONT/DEFAULT=(NOFEED,FO
RM=HPIVLJ)

Setup module looks like this :

<ESC>]VMS;2<ESC>\<ESC>P font_data <ESC>\

( font_data is 308K length)

Guys from CISCO said that this is a VMS related problem as far
as they are using standard VMS symbiont calls in Multinet.

What I am missing, where I should look ?

...

1777.1RESET module: Formfeeds on HP LaserJet PrintersXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Apr 29 1997 14:0031
   Use the following command to fetch the current RESET module from
   the specified device control library.

	LIBRARY/TEXT/EXTRACT=reset_module_name -
		/output=reset_module_name.TXT -
		SYS$LIBRARY:devctl-name.TLB

   HP LaserJet device control library RESET modules usually contain:

   <ESC>]VMS;2<ESC>\<ESC>@<ESC>P<ESC>E<ESC>\

   or similar.  (The "<ESC>P<ESC>E<ESC>\" is the LaserJet sequence.)

   The device control library is locked when queues that reference
   the library are active -- the queues must be stopped before any
   updates can be made.  Here is how to update the library:

   Use:

	$ LIBRARY/INSERT/TEXT -
		SYS$LIBRARY:devctl_name.TLB
                reset_module_name.TXT

   to add the module.  Make sure that the HP printer queues specify
   the above reset module.  (See INIT/QUEUE/SEPARATE=RESET=module_name)

   The above escape sequences are seven-bit sequences.  <OSC>VMS;2<ST>
   is the eight-bit equivilent of <ESC>]VMS;2<ESC>\.  Make sure the
   device is set for the appropriate 8-bit or 7-bit characters.
