The "-s" "-T" style arguments have not been used in a very long time.
Start by updating to the current version (0.16.3) of tn5250. There were
a lot of bug fixes added to lp5250d.
You will find newer versions at:
http://tn5250.sourceforge.net
With the newer version, create a ~/.tn5250rc file that looks like this:
printer {
host = as400
env.DEVNAME=LINPRT1
outputcommand=scs2ascii|lpr
env.IBMMFRTYPMDL=*OKI184IBM
}
then start the printer with:
lp5250d printer
If that doesn't work, try enabling syslog. lp5250d writes diagnostic
messages to the info facility of the system logger....
so, edit /etc/syslog.conf, and add an entry like
*.info /var/log/infolog
then restart the syslogd:
killall -1 syslogd
and kill lp5250d and try again. Check that log file for info.
If that still does not help you, then change ~/.tn5250rc to look like
this:
printer {
host = as400
env.DEVNAME=LINPRT1
outputcommand=scs2ascii|lpr
env.IBMMFRTYPMDL=*OKI184IBM
trace=/home/joel/lp5250trace.txt
}
then kill lp5250d and try again. After it fails again, kill lp5250d
and check the contents of /home/joel/lp5250trace.txt. The contents of
that trace file will be a bit obscure if you're not familar with the
way tn5250 works, but perhaps you'll see a clue.
If you're still stumped after trying these things (and only after trying
these things) e-mail me a copy of that lp5250trace.txt file. Please
e-mail it to me directly, do not send it to the mailing list.
Good luck!
