XDPR(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              XDPR(1)



NAME
     xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

SYNOPSIS
     xdpr [ filename ] [ -display host:display ] [ -Pprinter ] [
     -device devtype ] [ option ...  ]


DESCRIPTION
     Xdpr uses the commands xwd, xpr, and lpr or lp to dump an X
     window, process it for a particular printer type, and print
     it out on the printer of your choice.  This is the easiest
     way to get a printout of a window.  Xdpr by default will
     print the largest possible representation of the window on
     the output page.

     The options for xdpr are the same as those for xpr, xwd, and
     lpr or lp.  The most commonly-used options are described
     below; see the manual pages for these commands for more
     detailed descriptions of the many options available.

OPTIONS
     filename
          Specifies a file containing a window dump (created by
          xwd) to be printed instead of selecting an X window.

     -Pprinter
          Specifies a printer to send the output to.  If a
          printer name is not specified here, xdpr (really, lpr
          or lp) will send your output to the printer specified
          by the PRINTER environment variable. Be sure that type
          of the printer matches the type specified with the
          -device option.

     -display host:display[.screen]
          Normally, xdpr gets the host and display number to use
          from the environment variable ``DISPLAY.'' One can,
          however, specify them explicitly; see X(1).

     -device devtype
          Specifies the device on which the file will be printed.
