12
14 Xdpr uses the commands xwd, xpr, and lpr or lp to dump an X window,
15 process it for a particular printer type, and print it out on the
16 printer of your choice. This is the easiest way to get a printout of a
17 window. Xdpr by default will print the largest possible representation
18 of the window on the output page.
19
20 The options for xdpr are the same as those for xpr, xwd, and lpr or lp.
21 The most commonly-used options are described below; see the manual
22 pages for these commands for more detailed descriptions of the many
23 options available.
24
26 filename
27 Specifies a file containing a window dump (created by xwd) to be
28 printed instead of selecting an X window.
29
30 -Pprinter
31 Specifies a printer to send the output to. If a printer name is
32 not specified here, xdpr (really, lpr or lp) will send your out‐
33 put to the printer specified by the PRINTER environment vari‐
34 able. Be sure that type of the printer matches the type speci‐
35 fied with the -device option.
36
37 -display host:display[.screen]
38 Normally, xdpr gets the host and display number to use from the
39 environment variable ``DISPLAY.'' One can, however, specify
40 them explicitly; see X(1).

42 -device devtype
43 Specifies the device on which the file will be printed. Cur‐
