  XDPR(1)            X Version 11 (10 May 1988)             XDPR(1)



  NAME
       xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer


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


  DESCRIPTION
       Xdpr uses the commands xwd(1), xpr(1), and lpr(1) 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.  The most commonly-used options are described below;
       see the manual pages for these commands for more detailed
       descriptions of the many options available.

       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)
            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 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
            printer (e.g. DEC LN03R or LPS40).  The default is
            "ln03".

       -help
            This option displays the list of options known to xdpr.

       Any other arguments will be passed to the xwd(1), xpr(1),
       and lpr(1) commands as appropriate for each.
