[LINUX5250] lp5250d

[GOMES Rui Pedro <rpgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone!

I have set up lp5250d in linux correctectely and it prints fine, but with
the exception of one small detail: everytime I release a print job on the
as400 to the printer (env.DEVNAME = CONTLIN), it gives a msg saying that I
should "Put the *STD paper type in the printer CONTLIN." and that the paper
type was left blank. I always disregard the message, and press the G option,
and the printing turns out great.

Below is my tn5250rc file and the trace file:

--Start of tn5250rc file--
printer {
        host = as400
        env.DEVNAME = CONTLIN
        env.IBMMFRTYPMDL= *HP4
        outputcommand=scs2ascii | lpr -POnePrinter
        trace=/user/trace5250.txt
}

--End of tn5250rc file--
