No, I am NOT using the RSCS command - I am using the TCP LPR
command. Is there such an option for TCP? Also, since this is supposed
to be controlled by the LPD, why would VM's TCPIP cause it to work
differently?

Which VM LPR are you using, RSCS or the TCP/IP LPR command?
If RSCS, specify SEP=2P on the link parm.
