Grahame M. Kelly - Linux User (gmkelly@zip.com.au) opined:
: 
: I have been trying to find the "xpr" the X11 printing window dump utility, 
: which is generally used with xwd and xwud. I have been unable to find it
: anywhere on the usual ftp sites.  I had tried xgrab and xgrabsc but both
: do not compile correctly (I am running RH metro) ie: xgrabsc.2_3.tar.gz
: 
: Anyone know where I can find xpr, xwd & xwud are already in RH 4.0 distrib.
: 
I couldn't find xpr after hunting around for a while (at least, I think I
found a version in a really old XFree86 distribution, but nothing recent).
I got much the same effect by the following series of commands:

    xwd | xwdtopnm | pnmtops | lpr -Pps

(assuming you have a printer or print filter in /etc/printcap called ps that 
can accept PostScript input). Alias this to 'printwindow' or something.

Regards,

William Webber
