XDPR(1)                                                   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  avail-
       able.

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.  Currently supported:
                   la100  Digital LA100
                   ljet   HP LaserJet series and other monochrome
                          PCL devices such as ThinkJet, QuietJet,
                          RuggedWriter, HP2560 series, and HP2930
                          series printers
                   ln03   Digital LN03

                   ps     PostScript printer

              The  default  is  PostScript.   -device  lw (Laser-

              only for backwards compatibility.

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

       Any other arguments will be passed to the  xwd,  xpr,  and
       lpr or lp commands as appropriate for each.
