In ps-print.el.gz (xemacs-base-support-el deb) you'll find this:
(eval-and-compile
(if (memq ps-print-emacs-type '(lucid xemacs))
(if (< emacs-minor-version 12)
(setq ps-print-color-p nil))
(require 'faces))
which effectively sets ps-print-color-p to nil when you're running
Xemacs whith a minor version less than 12 (such as 21.4 for example).
I suppose this stems from the old Xemacs 20.x days and is not correct
anymore. You need to edit and recompile this file in order to rectify
the situation.
