Re: Printing directly to a printer on a different system

Consider converting your spool file to a PDF file.  Email the PDF file to
the consolidator for printing.

The tn5250 project can do both of these at once using lp5250d and scs2pdf. Defining a session like this will do the trick:

emailscs2pdf {
host = myas400.mydomain.com
env.DEVNAME = EMLSCSPDF
outputcommand = scs2pdf > /tmp/label.pdf ; mail -s "Mailing label" -a /tmp/label.pdf consolidator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}

(that outputcommand line is all one big line)

Then running lp5250d emailscs2pdf will create a print that converts SCS spool files to pdf and emails them to consolidator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
