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.

       Additional lp5250d options are described in the tn5250rc(5) man page.
