User Commands                                             XDPR(1)



NAME
     xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/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.
