HP Printers and Blank Pages?

The Question is:

 
Alpha 4100, openvms V7.2-1, HP laser printers
subject:  generation of extra form feeds on
printers.
 
I am working through a problem with UCX printer
queues where a blank sheet of paper comes out
with every job printed.  I have used all the UCX
print que options to stop this, but it continues
anyway.  The following is an example of the
statement we use to set up the printers:
INITIALIZE.QUEUE/START/ON="10.1.253.40:9100"/PROCESSOR=UCX$TELNETSYM/
SCHEDULE=NOSIZE/NO_INITIAL_FF/DEFAULT=(NOFEED,NOFLAG,FORM=P)
  ADM03P
 
We are using HP laser printers that have their
own ethernet cards or are connected through HP
Jetdirect 500X printer hubs.  In the "Digital
TCP/ip services for open vms" guide section
19.1, it states that i need to DEFINE
TCPIP$TELENETSYM_SUPPRESS_FORMFEEDS for these
queues.  If this is true, how do I do this?
 
Thank you for taking my question.

The Answer is :

 
  Please see the OpenVMS FAQ and please see topic (1020).
