When using an NCD-16 X terminal, window dumps printed with "xipr" (a
contrib client that prints on Imagen printers) come out in reverse
video.  This is probably because the NCD has black and white reversed
in comparison with many other kinds of servers.

xipr is just a shell script that pipes the output of "xwd" into the
program "bitimp", so I don't know if xwd or bitimp is at fault.  A
quick look at the code suggests that neither program checks to see
whether a black pixel is represented by 0 or 1.
