We are trying to use xwd and xpr to dump X-screens on a Personal Workstation
running DU 4.0C.
The dump sequence:
xwd -out dumpfile.scr
xpr -device ps -output dumpfile.ps dumpfile.scr
lpr dumpfile.ps
The behavior:
if we use "-device ps" on the xpr command it works on graphics screens but not
on text screens (text screen just prints a cursor down in the lower left
corner).
if we use "-device ljet" on the xpr command it says
"/usr/bin/X11/xpr: Could not read xwd file's image."
and produces no output file. The response is the same whether dumping a
graphics screen or a text screen.
We have tried using both z and xy format dumps with no apparent difference.
Any hints on how to get a more appropriate behavior out of xwd/xpr would be
greatly appreciated.
