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.
