technical print service (TPS)

The Technical Print Service, tps(5), is a network transparent printing system that allows X applications to render to non screen devices in the same manner they render to displays. It may also be referenced as the X Print Service. Please refer to the tps(5) man page for details on configuring and using TPS.

virtual frame buffer (Xvfb)

Xvfb(1) is an X Server that does not require display hardware or input devices. It emulates a video frame buffer by using the system’s virtual memory.

Xvfb may be used for: rendering with non-standard depths and screen configurations, software rendering, providing a way to run applications that don't need an X Server but for some reason insist on having one, etc.

Generally the user application must use functions such as XGetImage(3) in order to see what was actually rendered.
