I had the same problem :) and found Mike Madore's sample printer configuration.

For anyone who wants to try the new lp5250, here is the format of a config
file printer entry:

ibmprn {
   host = 204.146.177.77
   env.DEVNAME = MIKEMPRN
   env.IBMMFRTYPMDL = *HP4
   outputcommand = scs2ascii | lpr
   trace=/home/mmadore/prn.log
}
