When I had similar problems at a customer I stopped the queue,
asked for a printout, copied the spool file and re-started the queue.
Then I investigatet it all back in office on my own test system...

OK, sorry. Of course.

Might not solve the specific telnet-sym problem, but have you
thought of trying LPD instead of telnet ?

Yes, I know, I have the same at a client. LAT devices are
used from the COBOL code to print (or sometimes copy) to.
Then the LATxxx queue is just assigned to the real print queue,
today often a DCPS queue. Have you thought about DCPS, b.t.w ?
Don't know if it would help, though...

Jan-Erik.
