That's an invalid outputcommand.  You cannot do quotes like that.  The
shell doesn't like you putting quotes in the middle of an argument.

Try this instead:

    lp5250d 'outputcommand=cat > /tmp/out$$' trace=/tmp/trace.out host

Then, according to a message from John Ross (the owner of NetShare400.com)
you cannot use a device name of LP0.  You need to use your user name.
He posted that message yesterday.  If you missed it, it's in the
archives here:
    http://archive.midrange.com/linux5250/200205/msg00021.html

I can't give you any more info than that because I'm not a user on
NetShare400 and I have no idea what any special considerations of the
set-up would be.
