xdpr(X)                       06 January 1993                        xdpr(X)

 Name

    xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

 Syntax

    xdpr [filename] [-display host:display] [-Pprinter]
    [-device printerdevice] [option ... ]

 Description

    xdpr uses the commands xwd(X), xpr(X), and lp(C) 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 avail-
    able.

 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, lp) will send your out-
                put to the printer specified by the PRINTER environment vari-
                able. Be sure that type of the printer matches the type
                specified with the -device option.

    -displayhost: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(X).

    -deviceprinter-device
                Specifies the device type of the printer.  Available printer
                devices are ``ln03'' for the DEC LN3, ``pp'' for the IBM 3812
                PagePrinter, and ``ps'' for any postscript printer (e.g. DEC
                LN3R or LPS4).  The default is ``ln03''.

    -help       This option displays the list of options known to xdpr.

    Any other arguments will be passed to the xwd(X), xpr(X), and lp(C) com-
    mands as appropriate for each.

 Environment variables

    DISPLAY   the default display

    PRINTER   the default printer
