There is a utility called pbm (from Jef Poskanzer) in the
contrib/clients/pbm directory of the X11R3 distribution. In it
are utilities that will convert between several bitmap formats,
including xwd format and HP laserjet format. I have been using

xwd -root | xwdtopbm | pbmtolj -r 150 | lpr

to get screendumps from a Sun 3/50 for many months. It's not real
fast, but it works just fine.
