Hello, Does anyone know how to get a screen dump of an HP 835 Turbo SRX? I know how to dump the screen if I'm running X-windows, but I'm not in this case. I have some 3rd party graphics applications that use the console as the display and I want to dump the screen (most likly so it can be printed on an HP paint jet). I don't know if this matters or not, but the 3rd party software (GAE, made by Global Imaging inc.) doesn't run from the console, it is ran from a hard-wired tty that has a terminal sitting next to the console (not the greatest setup, but...) Thanks for any help, Curt curt@oce.orst.edu

Until then you can use Starbase's bitmap_print or bitmap_to_file with pcltrans (as used in the example program /usr/lib/starbase/formatters/pcl/bmprint.c.)
