Re: Help with TN5250 Printing -- LINUX5250

Hi,

Did you install from the source distribution, or from a precompiled
package?  I would download the latest version which is available for
download at:

        ftp://cvs.cleveland.lug.net/pub/tn5250/tn5250-0.15.8.tar.gz

Do a ./configure, make, make install and you should be all set.  Let me
know if you have any problems.
