That's right. Setting up printing via CUPS, lprng, or whatever is entirely
independant from Xprint. Xprint finds printers exported on the system
automatically. If lpq reports a printer is available Xprint should
find it.

Actually that's Xprint too. If you print to a file and look at it
it reads:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: The X Print Server's PostScript DDX (The X.Org Group, release
6600)
%%Title: ...
So you need Xprint setup to print to a file as well.

Right the choices are A) not print, B) downgrade or C) install
xprt-xprintorg. Personally I think people should try C before bitching too
much.
