NAME

       textps - text to PostScript filter
       nscript - text to PostScript converter

SYNOPSIS

       textps [ -T[option[,option]*]* ] [ lpr filter options ] [ filename...  ]

       options: [ c=n ] [ l=n ] [ m=n ] [ t=n ] [ v=n ]

       nscript [ -G ] [ -r ] [ -2 ] [ -t width ] [ -pfile ] [ -Pprinter ] [ filename...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       textps  is  a simple text to PostScript filter.	When invoked as nscript it (weakly) simulates the Adobe Systems Incorporated enscript pro-
       gram, converting text to PostScript and adding headers.	textps is usually invoked automatically by a print spooler while nscript  is  usu-
       ally  invoked  by  a  user.   Input files can use ISO Latin-1.  Two or more identical overstruck characters are rendered using a bold font.
       Tabs are assumed to be set every 8 character positions.	textps is designed to produce good output with lpr -p or pr | lpr;  if	you  print
       unpaginated text, you will need to increase the t option value and decrease the v or l option value.

TEXTPS OPTIONS

       c=n    Use n characters to the inch.

       l=n    Use n lines per page.

       m=n    Use a left margin of n points.

       t=n    Position the baseline of the first line of text n points below the top of the page.

       v=n    Use a vertical spacing of n points.

       The default behaviour is -Tc=12,l=66,m=18,t=8,v=12.

NSCRIPT OPTIONS

       By default, nscript will send the formatted output to lpr; the -P option can select the printer.

       -G     Gaudy output - a header and labels for the input files are placed on the output page.

       -r     rotated (landscape) output.

       -twidth
	      Set tab stop to width characters.

       -2     two column output.

       -pfile send output to file.

       -Pprinter
	      spool output to printer using lpr.

       Note: the combination nscript -2Gr is useful for viewing listings.

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  represen-
       tation 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.  Currently supported:
		   la100  Digital LA100
		   ljet   HP LaserJet series and other monochrome PCL devices such as ThinkJet, QuietJet, RuggedWriter, HP2560 series, and HP 2930
			  series printers
		   ln03   Digital LN03
		   pjet   HP PaintJet (color mode)
		   pjetxl HP 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.
