XDPR(1) X11 R4.11MU05 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.
