Name

pr3287 - IBM host printing tool

Synopsis

pr3287 [ options ] [[ prefix :]...[ LUname [, LUname ...]@] hostname [: port ]]

Description

pr3287 opens a telnet connection to an IBM host, and emulates an IBM 3287 printer. It implements RFCs 2355 (TN3270E), 1576 (TN3270) and 1646 (LU name selection).

A specific LU name to use may be specified by prepending it to the hostname with an `@'. Multiple LU names to try can be separated by commas. An empty LU can be placed in the list with an extra comma.

The port to connect to defaults to telnet. This can be overridden by appending a port to the hostname with a colon `:'.

Options

pr3287 understands the following options:
-assoc LUname
Causes the session to be associated with the specified LUname.
-command command
Specifies the command to run for each print job. The default is lpr.
-daemon
Causes pr3287 to become a daemon process, once the connection to the host is established.
-trace
Turns on data stream tracing. Trace information is saved in the file /tmp/x3trc.pid.
