Hmmm...  That looks right.  Perhaps you are trying to print IPDS
documents?  scs2pdf only support *SCS printouts.  You might also try
putting the full path names in, i.e.:

lp5250d env.DEVNAME=PRT03 \
'outputcommand=/usr/bin/scs2pdf /tmp/spoolfile$$.pdf' \
192.168.0.2

(my scs2pdf is in /usr/bin, yours may be different, like /usr/local/bin)

You should be sure that you didn't already have a PRT03 configured on the
AS/400 since it will use the previous definition which may not be valid.
