The X Window System includes clients that enable you to do screen dumps. A screen dump is an operation that captures an image from your screen and saves it in a bitmap file. You can then redisplay, edit, or send the file to the printer for hardcopy reproduction.

Read this chapter if you need to "take a picture" of something on the screen for future use or if you want to print what is on your screen.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

  • Making a screen dump.

  • Displaying a screen dump.

  • Printing a screen dump.

SharedPrint/UX is available on HP-UX 10.0 systems. If you want to use it instead of the printing techniques described in this chapter, refer to SharedPrint/UX User and Administrator's Guide.
