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 out‐
	      put to the printer specified by the  PRINTER  environment	 vari‐
	      able.   Be sure that type of the printer matches the type speci‐
	      fied 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.	  Cur‐
	      rently 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

	      The default is PostScript.  -device lw (LaserWriter) is  equiva‐
	      lent  to	-device ps and is provided only for backwards compati‐
	      bility.

       -help  This option displays the list of options known to xdpr.

       Any other arguments will be passed to the xwd, xpr, and lpr or lp  com‐
       mands as appropriate for each.
