XDPR(1)                     X Version 11(Release 5)                     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
      available.

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
                  pjet  HP PaintJet (color mode)
                  pjetxl

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

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