XDPR(1)                                                                                              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  ``DIS-PLAY.'' ``DISPLAY.''
              PLAY.''  One can, however, specify them explicitly; see X(1).

       -device devtype
              Specifies the device on which the file will be printed.  Currently supported:
                   la100  Digital LA100
                   ljet   HP  LaserJet  series  and other monochrome PCL devices such as ThinkJet, QuietJet,
                          RuggedWriter, HP2560 series, and HP 2930 series printers
                   ln03   Digital LN03
                   pjet   HP PaintJet (color mode)
                   pjetxl HP HP PaintJet XL Color Graphics Printer (color mode)
                   pp     IBM PP3812
                   ps     PostScript printer

              vided only for backwards compatibility.
