XDPR(1)             RISC/os Reference Manual              XDPR(1)



NAME
     xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

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


DESCRIPTION
     Xdpr uses the commands xwd(1), xpr(1), 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.  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.  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.

     -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 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 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 known to xdpr.

     Any other arguments will be passed to the xwd(1), xpr(1),
     and lpr(1) commands as appropriate for each.
