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 en-
	    vironment variable ``DISPLAY.''  One can, however, specify them  ex-
	    plicitly; see X(7).

     -device devtype
	    Specifies  the  device on which the file will be printed.  Currently
	    supported:
		 ljet	HP LaserJet series and other monochrome PCL devices such
			as ThinkJet, QuietJet, RuggedWriter, HP2560 series,  and
			HP 2930 series printers
		 pjet	HP PaintJet (color mode)
		 pjetxl
			HP PaintJet XL Color Graphics Printer (color mode)
		 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.
