problem with screen dump, tty000

Two questions/problems:

First:
I would like to be able to do screen dumps to a remote
laser printer. I can print regular files to the the att495.
But, when I hit shift-print the remote printer spits out a couple
pages of garbage.
I wonder a couple things here: Is it possible? I'm
using HDB, does that make a difference? What quirks in the
lp setup should I check into?

Second:
I use my pc as a terminal over a 9600b datakit line, but cu is slow. 
I set up my call screen, and I can cu -l tty000. But when I choose
the datakit line from the call screen, I get an error,
/dev/tty000 not available. What gives here?

I had also tried using the vt100 emulator, the one that went
around a while ago (vtem/vterm by M. Benten), but that fails too,
vtem: Unknown problem with pty.
Related problems?

Much obliged for your help,
Bill
