SYNOPSISxdpr [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
