[comp.windows.x] Using xwd, xwud, xpr

kek@DINORAH.WUSTL.EDU (04/28/89)

What is the collective experience using dump/undump/print?

I have been trying to dump windows to an ln03 printer with no success.
Well, yes, I get a black rectangle on the ln03 or a purple one on the
vt340, etc.  but I never manage to see the image on the screen.  Even
black and white (xclock) images fail to reproduce.

My question is, has anyone been successful here.  Are my problems
with the clients, the servers, colormaps or what?

For one thing, I see that using the MIT sample Xapollo,

xwd | xwud

does not reproduce a window although it does work on the beta Xserver
from apollo.  Should the following produce the window image on the 
printer?

xwd -xy | xpr -dev ln03 | lpr -Plp1
