How to print the contents of a X-window to a print queue?

ACT:

xwd | xpr | lpr -P qname
for PostScript
or

for PCL:
xwd -bitmap | xpr -dev ljet | lpr -P qname

The above command worked fine for my PCL queue, but yours printed
garbage... 

You are remote printing to a Windows NT print server... The server's 
printer driver may be formatting the job...

vi /etc/qconfig
Changed to using bsdshort and bsdlong for the form filters... and
tried again:

xwd -bitmap | xpr -dev ljet | lpr -P qname -l

the -l tells the NT server not to format the image we're sending it.
This printed as desired.
