Re: Problem with lp5250d 0.17.1

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

I think simply changing:
       outputcommand='scs2ascii | lpr -Pp13'
to:
       outputcommand=scs2ascii | lpr -Pp13
will solve your problem.

Since the lp5250d is reading the ~/.tn5250rc file directly, they won't be
removed automatically by your shell. This means that when it tries to send
the spooled data to your printer, its treating 'scs2ascii | lpr -Pp13' as
a single argument, a program name to be run.  :)  When that fails, lp5250d
is ending.

If that doesnt work, try writing another message to the list...
