I have to print out a bunch of examples of Motif interfaces that I have created. To accomplish this, I have ordered an HP PaintJet. Since my hardware is an HP 9000/425t and includes a driver for a Paintjet, I am hoping that this will be easy to accomplish. My question is this: Can I do it without having to write all kinds of silly routines to dump the contents of a window to the printer? Anybody have experience with this? Any routines available (if required). Any suggestions are welcome. I have about a week to get it working, once the printer arrives (2 weeks away...) and would like to get some idea of the task that. Thanks, Warren Long (mail to wallace@herald.usask.ca)

Use the command - xwd | xpr -device pjet | lp -onb -oraw -dpaintjet This waits for you to press a button over a window, then prints that window. The "paintjet" in the line is the lp printer name. It should match whatever printer name you chose when you set up the printer with SAM or lpadmin. Mike Stroyan, mike_stroyan@fc.hp.com
