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 session
     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  informational  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
     lp5250d env.DEVNAME=LINPRT1 env.IBMMFRTYPMDL='*HP4' as400sys
	    Connect  to as400sys as the printer LINPRT1, using host print trans-
	    form 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
	    Print  to  an  Okidata  Microline 184 Turbo on the local print queue
	    named `oki'.

     lp5250d env.DEVNAME=PSPRT outputcommand='scs2ps > scs$$.ps' as400sys
