Is there a tool out that will allow you to screen print from a window to a specified printer. I am present running openwindows on a sun 3/60 with a terminal emulation called tn3270. I find that it would be very useful to be able to screen print these windows at various times. I know that there are ways to affect this through frame captures, and cut and paste, but what I was really in hopes of was a way to let me click on the window, or submenu and print the contents of the screen at that instant. It would be great if this capability existed throughout the entire range of all the windows, however if I was even able to just use it in my terminal emulation window I would be happy. I would appreciate any help,suggestions,advice, or S.W. that would answer this need.

It should be listed under the default workspace menu. Snapshot can capture an window/region/screen to a file and print the image to a postscript printerx. If you are running the 3270 terminal emulation that works thru an xterm window, you can also use the session logging capability to capture terminal sessions to a file. You toggle logging on/off my using the <control><left-mouse-button> combination in the window. Bob Haar InterNet : rhaar@gmr.com Computer Science Dept., G.M.

The snapshot utility that is part of the DESKSET package lets you capture a "snapshot" of a window, a region or the whole screen. The snapshot can be stored in a file as a raster image or sent to an arbitrary postscript printer. If you don't have access to a postscript printer, the pbmplus software package has conversions to many other formats. Bob Haar InterNet : rhaar@gmr.com Computer Science Dept., G.M.
