xprint doesn´t start

[Jan Willem Stumpel <jstumpel@planet.nl>]

Attempts to start xprint (i.e. Xprt), either at boot-up or by
means of /etc/init.d/xprint start, produce a message in my
/var/log/syslog:

Sep 19 14:05:36 spica Xprt_64:
Sep 19 14:05:36 spica Xprt_64: Fatal server error:
Sep 19 14:05:36 spica Xprt_64: could not open default font 'fixed'

But of course I do have a font called "fixed". For instance, if I run

xterm -fn fixed

an xterm window with the "fixed" font (i.e.
 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 )
is opened without problems.

I do not run a font server. Font paths (including
"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" which contains the fixed fonts) are set
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.

How to fix this? Any other clues on how to make xprint work?

Running testing at the moment.
