xdpr(1X)                                                 xdpr(1X)



NAME
     xdpr - dumps an X window directly to a printer

SYNOPSIS
     xdpr [file] [-display host:display] [-Pprinter]
     [-device printer-device] [option]...

DESCRIPTION
     xdpr uses the xwd(1X), xpr(1X), and lpr(1) commands to dump
     an X window, process it for a laser printer or other type of
     printer, and print it out on the printer of your choice.
     The target window is selected by clicking the mouse in the
     desired window.  By default, xdpr prints the largest possi-
     ble representation of the window on the output page.

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

     -display host:display[.screen]
             Specifies the host and display number. See X(1X) for
             details. Normally, xdpr gets the host and display
             number from the DISPLAY environment variable.

     -device printer-device
             Specifies the device type of the printer.  Available
             printer devices are ln03 for the DEC LN03, pp for
             the IBM 3812 PagePrinter, and ps for any postscript
                                       r            r
             printer, such as the Apple  Laserwriter .  The de-
             fault is ps.

     -help   Displays a summary of the command syntax.

     -Pprinter
             Specifies the printer on which to print. If a
             printer name is not specified, xdpr (really, lpr)
             sends your output to the printer specified by the
             PRINTER environment variable. Be sure that the type
             of the printer matches the type specified with the
             -device option.

     The file argument specifies a file containing a window dump
     (created by xwd) to print instead of selecting an X window,
     as explained in xwd(1X).

     Any other arguments are passed to the xwd, xpr, and lpr com-
     mands as appropriate for each.
