NAME

6       lp5250d - start an AS/400 printer session
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lp5250d [OPTIONS] HOSTNAME
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lp5250d  connects  to an AS/400 over TCP/IP and provides a printer ses‐
13       sion emulating an IBM 3812 printer.  The  printer  session  works  with
14       scs2ascii  and  host  print  transform  on  the  AS/400 to print AS/400
15       spooled files on a local printer.
16
17       To end a printer session, send it a SIGTERM signal with kill(1).
18
19       Printing support requires named session support, which is available for
20       most  recent  versions  of  OS/400,  but is only supplied with V4R3 and
21       later versions.  For V3R2, V3R7, V4R1 and  V4R2,  please  see  informa‐
22       tional APAR II10918.
