This may be of general interest.....

:
# capture
# execute from cu as ~!capture
oldstty=`stty -g`		# save stty settings.
stty -echo ixon ixoff -ixany	# turn off echo.
/bin/echo '\033[2i'		# ansi goto top of screen.
head -24 > capture.$$ 		# belch 24 lines to file.
stty $oldstty			# restore stty settings.

:
# prtscrn
# execute from cu as ~!prtscr
oldstty=`stty -g`		# save stty settings.
stty -echo ixon ixoff -ixany	# turn off echo.
/bin/echo '\033[2i'		# ansi goto top of screen.
head -24 | lp 			# belch 24 lines to spooler.
stty $oldstty			# restore stty settings.

One problem is that it saves every character and space on the screen
resulting in exactly 1944 (81x24) characters.  These should be trimmed
with sed or double spaced printing may result from automatic LF for
full 80 char lines.
