xdpr(1X)
X11R6
NAME
  xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

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

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]
      host:display Normally, xdpr gets the host and display number to use
      from the environment variable DISPLAY. One can, however, specify them
      explicitly; see X(1X).

  -device devtype
      Specifies the device on which the file will be printed.  Currently
      supported:

      la100
	  LA100

      ljet
	  HP LaserJet series and other monochrome PCL devices such as
	  ThinkJet, QuietJet, RuggedWriter, HP560 series, and HP930 series
	  printers

      pp  IBM PP3812

      ps  PostScript printer

	  The default is PostScript.  -device lw (LaserWriter) is equivalent
	  to -device ps and is provided only for backwards compatibility.

  -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 commands
  as appropriate for each.

DESCRIPTION
  The xdpr command uses the commands xwd, xpr, and lpr orlp 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 above; see the manual pages for
  these commands for more detailed descriptions of the many options
  available.

ENVIRONMENT
  DISPLAY which display to use by default.

  PRINTER which printer to use by default.
