Re: Screen Hardcopy Utility

["Mirco Piccin" <pictux@gmail.com>]

Hi.
To do this, you must first take a screenshot , then send the image to printer.
You can use ImageMagick and Cups.

so, i.e, to take screenshot:
# import -window root /tmp/desktop_snap.jpg

and to print it should be sufficent:
# lpr -P your_local_printer /tmp/desktop_snap.jpg

to do all-in-one you must create a bash script, and to use it with a special key pressure, you can use the Keyboard Shortcut utility.
Hope I help you!
Bye

Hi there,

I need a program/script to do the following:

- running debian sarge / xfree
- to the pc attached is a printer (parallel, PCL5 compliant)
- user presses a special key to be defined
- the actual screen (consisting of rdesktop or vncviewer content)
   is being printed on the printer automatically

Any good hints?

Thx,
bye,
Michael.
