If you're running X, there's `xwd -root' followed by a pipeline of the
correct conversion filters to get things into a format for your
printer. See the `man xwd' and the `netpbm' package.

Ah, you'd be an excellent test customer for the Printing section of
the handbook ... now if only I had it finished. :)
To start, is this printer on a serial port or a parallel port?

When I was a baby, I kept a diary. Recently, I was rereading it. It
said, "Day 1 -- Still tired from the move. Day 2 -- Everybody talks
to me like I'm an idiot." I was upset because on my second birthday,
I went from being one to being two, and my age doubled in a year. I
figured at this rate, by the time I'm six, I'll be ninety.
