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

-
- la100

or

commands as appropriate for each.
