XDPR(1X11)              COMMAND REFERENCE              XDPR(1X11)



NAME
     xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

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

     This is a user-contributed client.

DESCRIPTION
     The xdpr program uses the commands xwd(1x11), xpr(1x11), and
     lpr(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, and
     xdpr by default will print the largest possible
     representation of the window on the output page.

OPTIONS
     The options for xdpr are the same as those for xpr, xwd, and
     lpr. The most commonly-used options are described here.  See
     the individual manual pages for xpr, xwd, and lpr 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.

     -Pprinter           Specifies a printer to send the output
                         to.  If a printer name is not specified
                         here, xdpr (really, lpr) will send your
                         output to the printer specified by the
                         PRINTER environment variable. Be sure
                         that the 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''.  You can, however,
                         specify them explicitly; see X(1x11).

     -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 "ln03".

     -help               This option displays the list of options
