[comp.windows.x] Dump the screen to LaserWriter?

yt07+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (Yin-Cheng Tsai) (09/18/88)

I am working on SUN4/260 with color monitor.  The only command I can find to
prepare the image file is 'xpr'.  Unfortunately, 'xpr' can only accept
data of XY-format.  Therefore, I use 'xwd' with the option -xy to get an
image.  It take an unreasonalbly long time, about 5 minutes depending on
the size I need to dump, to create the output file. (To create a Z-format
output file just take a few seconds.)  Furthermore, I just got a junk file
which, after transfered with 'xpr -device ps', is a dark garbage.

Could someone tell me how to dump a color image and transfer it to a
Postscript file ready for LaserWriter?  Thank you in advance.
