Does anyone have a screen grabber that will work in X11 that will output to a COLOR postscript file. I am using a DEC 5000 running ultrix 4.0. Currently we have a HP Paintjet XL for color printing, and can convert a color postscript file to the Paintjet language using a IBM pc program (called Freedom-of-Press). Michael S.

Drivers for matrix, ink jet, laser, PostScript, thermal transfer, variable dot-size and dye sublimation printers in both color and b/w are available with EasyCopy/Motif. In my dealings with them they've been very responsive. In any case, I know that it works on a DS5000/200 CX or PX type system (running either Ultrix 4.1 or Ultrix T4.2) running to a Seiko CH-5504. They stipulate support for HP in their data sheet (no specifics) so I don't imagine you'll have too much trouble. I hope that this information helps. No warranty of the autoGraph products is intended or implied (I don't even get any money for this ;-) ...sigh).

On the other hand, there is a superb program on export.lcs.mit.edu. It takes output from the xwd command and produces a color postscript file with rle encoding. Look for xwd2ps or contact: xwd2ps-support@crd.ge.com General Electric Corporate Research and Development Copyright (c) 1990 General Electric Company The output is absolutely beautiful!

There's also a program called XtoPS. I snagged it off the net some
time ago. I believe it was from comp.sources.x.
It does color or greyscale and works real well.
