Hi,
Maybe you have the package "xprt" installed? If so you should remove it
and install "xprt-xprintorg" instead. Apparently the two are supposed
to be equivalent, but xprt is pretty broken, so I'm not sure why it is
even packaged.
I think you can also print to PostScript in Firefox without using Xprint
-- in the Print dialog, change the "Printer" selection box to read
PostScript/default, then in Properties you can set options for lpr to use.
Good luck,
