 I have been dumping windows to various printers with some success
using the little script that was posted in early October (i.e. xwd|xpr|lpr)
however though it works well for a laser writer and a HP paintjet it completely
bolws up using a HP paintjet XL producing garbage (sometimes one can see
bits of the required image pass by as sheets of paper are generated). So,
my question is; are ther some tricks to sending xpr output to an XL or
am I possibly using an old version of xpr (if so, where can I get a newer one)
or is there something better. I believe that the connections to the printer
etc are all set up ok because if xpr thinks its a plain paintjet then I
get an ok image on the XL machine.

Thanks
