[comp.windows.x] colour hardcopy output ?

mansfiel@scrsu1.sdr.slb.COM (Niall Mansfield) (01/30/89)

I'd like to dump/print images of colour windows to a hardcopy printer,
ideally either of
	QMS ColorScript 100
	Mitsubishi G650		(connected to Sun/3)
Does anyone have a variant of 'xwd' (or anything else) to do this?

Although not exactly what you asked for we have a version of xpr for the
amiga that supports all the standard amiga printers. This is going to be
offered to X-sites that want to use a printer with out having to worry
too much about whether their standard xpr supports it. This program
requires the use of an amiga and you need some way of getting the files
into the amiga. Ethernet boards and NFS do just fine here.
Some of the printers that the amiga currently supports are:

  Alphacom_Alphapro_101            Brother_HR-15XL
  CalComp_ColorMaster              CalComp_ColorMaster2
  Canon_PJ-1080A                   CBM_MPS1000
  Diablo_630                       Diablo_Advantage_D25
  Diablo_C-150                     EpsonQ
  EpsonXOld                        EpsonX[CBM_MPS-1250]
  Howtek_Pixelmaster               HP_DeskJet
  HP_LaserJet                      HP_PaintJet
  HP_ThinkJet                      ImagewriterII
  Nec_Pinwriter                    Okidata_293I
  Okidata_92                       Okimate_20
  Quadram_QuadJet                  Qume_LetterPro_20
  Toshiba_P351C                    Toshiba_P351SX
  Xerox_4020                       

We have not tested amiga-xpr out with all the above printers. We
are looking for a couple of beta testers with amigase, thernet,
and printers that are willing to help wring it out.

If you are interested in the amiga universal X print engine please
send email and I can fill you in on more details.
