lp5250d was changed to use the same style configuration options as tn5250
does.  The man page hasn't been updated yet.

You can type lp5250d (without any arguments) to get a list of the options
that it currently supports, then edit your ~/.tn5250rc (or similar) file
just like you would for tn5250, and add a section for your printer.

something like:

mydisplay {
   host = myas400.foo.com
   env.DEVNAME = X1
   +underscores
}

mydisplay2 {
   host = myas400.foo.com
   env.DEVNAME = X2
   +underscores
}

myprinter {
   host = myas400.foo.com
   env.DEVNAME = X3
   env.IBMMFRTYPMDL=*HP4
   outputcommand='scs2ascii|lpr -pX4'
}

then run them like so:

tn5250 mydisplay
xt5250 mydisplay2
lp5250d myprinter

Hmmm... I'm not familiar with this.  I'll let someone else help you. :)
(or.. you could just try it, and see if it works)
