I am not sure whether all implementations of X have xpr and xwd (utilities to
dump and print X-windows.) but if You have it You might try something like
the following procedure which I use to dump a window on my hp9k345 to my hp-paintjet.
If You change the options for xpr and lp that should work for any printer.

pro xwd,nu

;dump window to the paintjet
;
;nu number or the WAVE window
;------------------------------------------
windowname=''
case n_params() of
0:begin
print,'Enter name of window to dump? '
read,windowname
end
1: windowname='WAVE '+strtrim(string(nu),2)
endcase

spawn,"xwd -name '"+windowname+"' | xpr -device pjet | lp -dpaint -oraw -onb "
end
