Synopsis
pr3287
[ options ]
[[ 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.
- -blanklines
-
In LU3 formatted mode, print blank lines even if they are all NULLs or control
characters.
(This is a violation of the 3270 printer protocol, but some hosts require it.)
- -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.
