Holy smoke, is this slow. I asked it to print 5 minutes ago, and still have no output. (I will wait to see if I ever get any before sending this, but the print light on the HPLJ is flashing.)
OK, 10 minutes, and it printed the whole screen, not just the region. Oy, vey!
10 minutes? It only takes a couple of minutes on a humble HP DeskJet 840C for a whole screen, I guess it would be much less for just one window. I've always needed to capture screens and parts of screens for presentation to students and customers, no problems under Linux, haven't used Windows in years. Colleagues switching to Linux have all expressed disbelief at what it offers, none have switched back.
So it obviously needs to have cursors to outline the region you want to snapshot.
There's an ap for Windows called Snap32.exe that does these things and very well and very quickly. I think it was $15 shareware. That's what we need here. I'll cheerfully send the $15--but I want a working demo first!

There is a common misconception by those new to Linux that you are restricted by lack of decent applications, besides ksnapshot, there is xv, ImageMagick, Gnome Shooter and perhaps others (I forgot which one I used years ago before any of the others surfaced), all for free. After using Linux from version 0.x, I'm always discovering apps and new ways of doing things. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer ===== LINUX ONLY USED HERE =====
