NAME
       xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

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

OPTIONS
       Specifies a file containing a  window  dump  (created  by  xwd)	to  be
       printed	instead of selecting an X window.  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.	host:display Normally,
       xdpr gets the host and display number to use from the environment vari‐
       able  DISPLAY.  One  can,  however, specify them explicitly; see X(1X).
       Specifies the device on which the file will be printed.	Currently sup‐
       ported:	LA100 HP LaserJet series and other monochrome PCL devices such
       as ThinkJet, QuietJet, RuggedWriter, HP560  series,  and	 HP930	series
       printers LN03 HP PaintJet (color mode) HP HP PaintJet XL Color Graphics
       Printer (color mode) IBM PP3812 PostScript printer

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

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 represen‐
       tation 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
       which display to use by default.	 which printer to use by default.
