XDPR(1) X Version 11 (Release 5) 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 ``DISPLAY.'' One can,
however, specify them explicitly; see X(1).
-device devtype
Specifies the device on which the file will be printed.
