xdpr is not specifically at fault in failing to produce screen dumps
on the 3812. It turns out that if one traps the output from xpr to a file,
then asks orf to print it (via lpr) with the "-l" flag (literal),
a screen dump does result. 

Any suggestions on how to cure this? Should specifying "Page Map Primitive"
mode in the filter file pplpf fix this "temporarily"?
