I made the following program and uses it like this, from e.g. mu TWM menus:

   xcutbuffer | lpr

-----------

/* include files */
#include <stdio.h>              /* /usr/include/stdio.h */

/* X include files */
#include <X11/Xlib.h>		/* /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h  */

main(argc, argv)
     int argc;
     char **argv;
{
  
  /* Declarations */
  Display *dpy;           /* current display */
  int nbytes_return;
  char *bytes_return;

  
  /* Initialization */
  dpy = XOpenDisplay("");
  if ( !dpy ) {
    fprintf (stderr, "xcutbuffer: cannot establish display connection\n");
    exit(1);
  }
  
  bytes_return = XFetchBytes( dpy, &nbytes_return );
  printf("%s", bytes_return);

  /* Termination */
  XFree(bytes_return);
  XCloseDisplay ( dpy );
  exit (0);
}
