I realize that this is an *X-Free* ailing list, but it also is
a Cygwin list, and Cygwin is hosted on MS Windows, so...
Why not just use Alt-PrintScreen to copy the image to the "winxp
clipboard"
then paste into Paint, Word, or any other image/bitmap program to print?

xwd -display :0.0 | convert - /tmp/root.gif
This requires ImageMagic to be installed. The cursor changes into a
cross
and you can click on the window you want to capture.
For further features of xwd see man xwd.
