[comp.windows.x] xwd -> laser printer

Can someone out there enlighten me as to the various ways one
can dump a window's contents to a laser printer.  The only
way I know of now on my HP system is
        xwd | xwd2sb | pcltrans <options> | lp -oraw
I was hoping for something more direct...  Is there any
utility to do this buried in the standard distribution
somewhere, or does someone else have some nifty PD software?

Is there anyway to dump then entire screen, not just one
application?
