Konsole 1.1 - How to Print Screen ?
Hello All,
Im using KDE 3.0 and Konsole 1.1 on SuSE Linux 8.0 Im a big newbie to linux and looking to replicate the functions of a company desktop on SuSE (leaving windows 98). Question : How do I print screen from within a Konsole session ? Thank you for replies, SuperKen |
if by print screen you mean you want to capture a screen shot, you just need to run the import command.
import -window root screenshot.jpeg or to be able to select an area of the screen import screenshot.jpeg hope this helps...although I don't quite understand what you meant. |
Hi orgcandman,
Thanks for your reply! Ill try to clarify the question more. Users need to be able to start a Konsole session, then telnet to a remote application. Once in this application, users need to be able to capture a "screen" then print it. So the question is, how do I capture a snapshot image of the text in Konsole and send that image to the printer ? Hope that makes more sense. I think you are on the right track with your reply, but is there an easier way to do this ? Can I map a key in linux to capture a screen function in Konsole ? I need simplicity here, the users are pretty much only used to there application commands, and will not be open to doing much more then that. Thanks again ! |
fun with shell scripting....
ok, well, here's a "quick 'n dirty" way of doing things...
take kde's feature for binding commands to a key and bind "import screen.jpeg" to some key <foo> or whatnot. Then take that image and run it through konqueror or some other jpeg viewer and have them print it. You could invest in magicfilter and use that to write a script similar to: -- begin bash -- #!/bin/bash import screen.jpeg lpr screen.jpeg -- end bash -- magicfilter automatically changes the jpeg to the canonical format to be printed. you could check the import manpages for some way to choose the currently focused window (I know there's a way to do it...I just don't know how) |
Thanks again Orgcandman !
Ill attempt the first option you outlined as that would seem to fit the bill. Ill post back on how it goes. Thanks ! |
