xdpr(1)xdpr(1)NAMExdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer
SYNOPSISxdpr [ filename ] [ -display host:display ] [ -dprinter ] [
-device printer_device ] [ option... ]
DESCRIPTIONxdpr uses the commands xwd(1), xpr(1), and lp(1) 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 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.
filename
Specifies a file containing a window dump (created by xwd) to be
printed instead of selecting an X window.
-dprinter
Specifies a printer to send the output to. If a printer name is
not specified here, xdpr (really, 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 X11(7).
-device printer-device
Specifies the device type of the printer. Available printer
devices are "ln03" for the DEC LN03, "pp" for the IBM 3812
PagePrinter, and "ps" for any postscript printer (e.g. DEC LN03R
or LPS40). The default is "ln03".
-help This option displays the list of options known to xdpr.
Any other arguments will be passed to the xwd(1), xpr(1), and lp(1)
commands as appropriate for each.
