Have you tried the snapshot utility that Sun provides with
OpenWindows? It should be listed under the default workspace
menu. Snapshot can capture an window/region/screen to a file
and print the image to a postscript printerx.

If you are running the 3270 terminal emulation that works thru
an xterm window, you can also use the session logging capability
to capture terminal sessions to a file. You toggle logging on/off
my using the <control><left-mouse-button> combination in the window.
