xdpr(1) — DG/UX 5.4R3.00



XDPR(1)                         X11 5.4R3.00                         XDPR(1)


NAME
       xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

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


DESCRIPTION
       Xdpr uses the commands xwd, xpr, and lp(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 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.

       -dprinter
              Specifies a printer to send the output to.  If a printer name
              is not specified here, xdpr (really, 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
                   pjet   HP PaintJet (color mode)
                   pjetxl HP HP PaintJet XL Color Graphics Printer (color
                          mode)
                   pp     IBM PP3812
                   ps     PostScript printer

              The default is PostScript.  -device lw (LaserWriter) is
              equivalent to -device ps and is provided only for backwards
              compatibility.
