Hi,
I have asked this question before, but I thought I'd repost since someone
may have figured it out by now. I would dig into the code myself, but I
simply do not have the time.
I cannot get a xwd image to my HP LaserJet. I am running X11R3 on a
Mono (and on a color) VAXstation.
I have tryed hpxpr from the distribution tape and from Expo. Both refuse
to read the xwd file, and give an error about inability to read the
window name. When I print out the window names length (by adding a print
statement inside the hpxpr code), it comes out to be a very large number
(millions).
I have also tryed converting the image with the pbm utilities. This
results in a garbled image on the LaserJet. I did get a note from someone
who noted that this relates to a problem with the qvss, but I don't
have any idea how to fix it.
Is there anyone out there printing to a LaserJet? Are any of them using
a VAXstation? Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this problem?
Any advice appreciated,
Thanks,

Use the pbm tools xwdtopbm and pbmtolj to convert into laserjet format. Then use the -oraw option to print the file. Bob Campbell Some times I wish that I could stop you from campbelr@hpda.hp.com talking, when I hear the silly things you say. Hewlett Packard - Elvis Costello
