I've been trying to use xdpr to dump and print a screen dump under X11R3. The X11R3 is running on an HP 9000/370 under HPUX 6.5. My problem is this. I run xdpr, select the window to dump, and during processing get a broken pipe. So, I use xwd with the -xy flag since I have a color monitor; save the output in a file; use xpr to print the output file on a LaserWriter, with appropriate flags for the LaserWriter. All I get printed is a black window. If on the otherhand I do all of this for an HP Laserjet, I get the screen dump. Anyone else have this problem, seen this problem, have any suggestions as to a possible solution? Thanks in Advance. -- Boyd Merworth The University of Texas at Austin Department of Computer Sciences, TAY 2.124, Austin, Texas 78712 merworth@cs.utexas.edu {harvard,gatech,uunet}!cs.utexas.edu!merworth

Boyd Did you specify the correct -device option? For HP, xpr defaults to the HP LaserJet. For a LaserWriter, I don't know what it should be. What is the model of the LaserWriter? Check the man page for xpr. It says you have to specify -device lw for the LaserWriter. If this does not work, please let us know. Unfortunately, the -device lw is equivalent to -device ps. This code was not written at HP, we simple accepted it from MIT (sigh), and must be taken with a grain of salt when applied to our printers. Lori A.
