xwd, xpr to a color xereox printer

I need caputure a screen shot on HPUX and send it to a color xerox postscript printer. In the past we have used xwd to a utility called xwd2ps then sent it to the printer. But with the newer fx graphics boards, the xwd2ps utility will not convert a multi-plane image. Is there another way of doing this?

You should probably give NetPBM. It's more powerful and flexible than xpr.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Another option is to use an image capture program like xv (xview), Gimp and QIV, then print it. I beleive xv is X-based, Gimp and QIV is gtk-based.

Another option is ImageMagick.

You can depots built for HP-UX here:

Not supported by HP, but of good quality. Much more functionality than xwd and company.

Necessary questions: Why? What? How? When?
