I recently FTP'd the PBM+ package. I want to get a dump of an X window.
Everything works fine except for the color postscript. The command I used was:
xwd | xwdtoppm | ppmtops >& dump.ps
I sent the dump.ps file to our color printer, a Tektronix Phaser PX. The only
thing that came out was a footer page describing the print job. I then
tried to use the SUN OpenWindows PostScript previewer, pageview. The only
thing that showed up on the screen was a cryptic error message:
Process: 0x46c088 (tongo.dfrf.nasa.gov client) Error: undefined
Stack: 124 62 8 array[6] array{4} false 3
Executing: colorimage
At: Reading file(?,W,R)
I don't know anything about the PostScript language. I assume the PBM+ package
is working correctly, since I have heard of many others using it successfully.
Does my printer not understand the colorimage command? Does pageview not
understand colorimage? Any pointers on how to pursue the problem would
be appreciated.
Thanks.
