Try this: lp5250d env.DEVNAME=PRT03 \ 'outputcommand=scs2pdf /tmp/spoolfile$$.pdf' \ your.as400.com That's all one big command. This will create a printer PRT03 that will output PDFs in /tmp called spoolfile<PID>.pdf. <PID> will be the process ID of the particular instance of scs2pdf, so you've got a good chance of this being unique. The files will be owned by whoever started the above command, so you can use that to identify the user. As for the HOWTO, it's a work in progress (I've been working on it, just not very fast). There is plenty of info available, just not necessarily in the form of a HOWTO. The man page (man lp5250d and man tn5250) are particularly good sources of info. The README included with the distribution also contains good stuff.
