How do I capture program screens to a file or print them?
To capture text output, use "script". By default, the file will be called "typescript", but "script myfile" will use that name instead. Press CTRL-D when you are finished recording.
To capture X screens, the "xwd" program is simple to use. Open an xterm, type "xwd > file" and (after pressing ENTER), just click on the window you want to capture. The resulting file can be printed using "xpr" or manipulated by graphic programs like "Gimp" and others if you need to save it as .gif or some other format.

No idea where I got this from, it's pretty old (Xenix days). Works only on the console.
:
# Shell script to screen dump
# This will only work at present on the main console
oldstty=`stty -g`
stty -echo ixon ixoff -ixany
/bin/echo '\033[2i\c'
head -25 > /tmp/screen.$$
stty $oldstty
# Ok now output the file to the printer
echo "\f" >>/tmp/screen.$$
lp /tmp/screen.$$
rm /tmp/screen.$$
Or get Chip Rosenthal's prtscrn from ftp.jpr.com

W/r to Melvin's comment about the escape sequence, man screen and see:
MC (Media Copy) CSI p1 i ps mc0
Causes all or part of the screen to
be sent to the pass-through printer.
Parameter p1 indicates how much of
the screen to send to the printer.
Currently, only p1=2 is supported,
which sends the entire screen
contents. Future versions of scoansi
may support other values.

You can convert them with all kinds of things- gimp, image magic, etc. which also wil let you edit down to what you want.
