Hi,

 I have asked this question before, but I thought I'd repost since someone
may have figured it out by now. I would dig into the code myself, but I
simply do not have the time.

 I cannot get a xwd image to my HP LaserJet.  I am running X11R3 on a
Mono (and on a color) VAXstation.

 I have tryed hpxpr from the distribution tape and from Expo. Both refuse
to read the xwd file, and give an error about inability to read the
window name. When I print out the window names length (by adding a print
statement inside the hpxpr code), it comes out to be a very large number
(millions).

 I have also tryed converting the image with the pbm utilities. This
results in a garbled image on the LaserJet. I did get a note from someone
who noted that this relates to a problem with the qvss, but I don't
have any idea how to fix it.

 Is there anyone out there printing to a LaserJet? Are any of them using
a VAXstation? Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this problem?


                                 Any advice appreciated,
                                       Thanks,
                                         Rob.
