NAME
     xdpr - dump an X window directly to a printer

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/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.
