The keymap you get from the $DISPLAY does not contain the geometry, you must
obtain it per setxkbmap/xkbcomp
For example:
        setxkbmap -model pc104 -print | xkbcomp -xkm -o keymap.xkm -
Note the '-' at the end.
Feeding keymap.xkm to xkbprint should now work.

By omitting '-model xxx' you get the geometry for the current keymap
