[comp.windows.x] PostScript Colour Problems !!

andreas@sentral.imr.no (06/19/91)

Hello,

I have a problem that hopefully has an easy solution :

How do I make colour postscript code from a window dump ??
I am using the commands

	xwd -frame | xpr -device ps | lpr -Pps &

and with various other choises of the -device option, but the result is
either monochrome of something that isn't postscript.

The printer I am sending it to is a Tektronics Phaser, and it requires
postscript code.


Please send help to my email address.


Best regards from

Andreas        (andreas@imr.no)

If you don't have it already install pbmplus and type

	xwd -frame | xwdtopnm | ppmtops | lpr -Pps &
