XDPR(1)                  USER COMMANDS                    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.
