LP5250D(1) General Commands Manual LP5250D(1)
NAME
lp5250d - start an AS/400 printer session
SYNOPSIS
lp5250d [OPTIONS] HOSTNAME
DESCRIPTION
lp5250d connects to an AS/400 over TCP/IP and provides a printer ses-
sion emulating an IBM 3812 printer. The printer session works with
scs2ascii and host print transform on the AS/400 to print AS/400
spooled files on a local printer.
To end a printer session, send it a SIGTERM signal with kill(1).
Printing support requires named session support, which is available for
most recent versions of OS/400, but is only supplied with V4R3 and
later versions. For V3R2, V3R7, V4R1 and V4R2, please see informa-
tional APAR II10918.
OPTIONS
Additional lp5250d options are described in the tn5250rc(5) man page.
-u, --user=USER
run lp5250d as USER
-H, --help
display this help and exit
-v, --version
output version information and exit
EXAMPLES

Connect to as400sys as the printer LINPRT1, using host print
transform on the AS/400 to print to an HP Laserjet or compatible
using lpr.
lp5250d env.DEVNAME=LINPRT1 env.IBMMFRTYPMDL='*OKI184IBM' outputcom-
mand=''scs2ascii | lpr -Poki' as400sys
