.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Xdpr
uses the commands
.I xwd,
.I xpr,
and
.I lpr
or
.I 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. \fIXdpr\fP by default will print the
largest possible representation of the window on the output page.
.PP
The options for \fIxdpr\fP are the same as those for \fIxpr\fP,
\fIxwd\fP, and \fIlpr\fP or \fIlp\fP.
The most commonly-used options are described
below; see the manual pages for these commands for
more detailed descriptions of the many options available.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.I filename
Specifies a file containing a window dump (created by \fIxwd\fP) to be
printed instead of selecting an X window.
.TP
.B \-P\fIprinter\fP
Specifies a printer to send the output to. If a printer name is not
specified here, \fIxdpr\fP (really, \fIlpr\fP or \fIlp\fP)
will send your output to the
printer specified by the \fIPRINTER\fP environment variable.
Be sure that type of the printer matches the type specified
with the \fI\-device\fP option.
.TP
.B \-display \fIhost:display\fP[\fI.screen\fP]
Normally,
.I xdpr
gets the host and display number to use from the environment
variable ``DISPLAY.''
One can, however, specify them explicitly; see \fIX\fP(1).
.TP
.B \-device \fIdevtype\fP
Specifies the device on which the file will be printed. Currently supported:
.RS 12
.PD 0
.TP
.B la100
Digital LA100
