% xwd2ps2 file.xwd | lpr

(for Linux)

% xwd2ps2 file.xwd | lp

(for Solaris/HP-UX)

Important

When -s and -S are specified at the same time or when the same option is specified twice, the later
setting will prevail.

When the output size option (-s, -S) is not specified, scaling will be executed taking one pixel of the
TIFF data as one pixel of the printer.

If the print position option (-lleft bottom) specifies a point beyond the printable area of the printer,
data beyond the printable area will not be printed.
