I use Telnet ALOT since I am a sysadm. First off for win3.1 you didn't
specify what program you are using.. with you are using Trumpet Telnet,
forget it. I heard that printing was a BUG in in it. The only thing I
can suggest is to get a program called EWAN which will work for both
win3.1 and 95. The printing in EWAN works fine for me. The onther
thing you can try is to "capture" the text to a text file and use a
word processor to print it. (the capture text command usually found in
the File Menu.
