[Vis5d-users] Image dump

I've encountered the following problem attempting to save an image in
various formats using the Save Pic button via ImageMagick:

Using Image Magick convert program.
Executing: ./util/convert tmp.xwd ps:/usr/tmp/Vis5D_image.ps
convert: xwd file format version mismatch (tmp.xwd) [No such file or
directory].
convert: missing an image file name.
Done writing image file.
Executing lpr /usr/tmp/Vis5D_image.ps
warning - cannot open file '/usr/tmp/Vis5D_image.ps', No such file or
directory

The only option that work is xwd (X Window Dump). I'm running Linux7 and
its configuration doesn't  have a "/usr/tmp/" directory. Do I need to
create one? Also, I'm not clear on how and where tmp.xwd is created
and/or if it is supposed to reside in the directory "./util" which has
the convert program or somewhere else. Any help is greatly appreciated.

oh, yes. I get a similar problem when I try to print an image directly
from Vis5D...
Warning - Cannot open file '/usr/tmp/Vis5D_image.ps', No such file or
directory
hp4500: nothing to print

Thanks,
Doug
