XDPR(1) XDPR(1)
NAME
xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer
SYNOPSIS
xdpr [filename] [-display host:display] [-dprinter]
[-device printer_device]
[option ... ]
DESCRIPTION
xdpr uses the commands xwd(1), xpr(1), 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 prints 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.
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 which to send the output.
If a printer name is not specified here, xdpr
(really, lp) sends 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 the environment variable DISPLAY. You can,
however, specify them explicitly.
-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 ps.
-help
displays the list of options known to xdpr.
Any other arguments will be passed to the xwd(1),
xpr(1), and lp(1) commands as appropriate for each.
