[comp.sys.dec] Screen print to LJ250 from ULTRIX

Use savimg (from the unsupported X11 components) and then pass the
X image file to lpr. The LJ250 filter should then convert this to sixel (colour!).

I'm looking for a utility that will allow a screen print from X-windows 
(DECwindows ?) in sixel format for an LJ250 colour inkjet.

The latest version of ULTRIX (Version 4.2) includes the option to
create a screen dump in Sixel format from the Session Manager.  (It
can also do DDIF or PostScript, although the latter is still greyscale
only).  Use the "Print Screen..." entry from the Session Manager's
"Customize" pulldown to change to Sixel.
