If you use host print transform, then all scs2ascii does is remove any
residual SCS codes. The AS/400 will put the proper PCL and EPSON codes in
for you.
Of course, this may not be ideal, as it puts an extra load on the AS/400
to do the conversion. I am currently working on an SCS -> PDF
filter. After that is done (if noone else beats me to it) I'll take a
look at doing a SCS -> Postscript filter.
