That's not how you specify host print transform, which explains part of
the problem.

You typed:
       lp5250d map=284 IBMMFRTYPMDL=*IBM3812

However, it SHOULD be:
       lp5250d map=284 env.IBMMFRTYPMDL=*IBM3812

If you don't add the "env" then it will not send the variable to the
AS/400, and the AS/400 won't do host print transform.

I assume (based on this info you're giving me) that this printer is a
genuine IBM 3812?


On to the next problem:  scs2ascii does not appear to handle the AVPP
op-code in the SCS stream.   That means that any absolute vertical page
positioning will not work unless you use Host Print Transform.

I should be able to whip up a fix to this problem by counting the current
line in much the same way we're keeping track of the column, then just
kicking out newlines until we reach our desired position, but I don't have
the time to test this thoroughly, so it'll have to be tested by the
group...
