     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.

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