Tried the Postscript entry; same bad result.
Looked for all pkgs related to xprint. Found: xprt-xprintorg, xprint,
xprint-common. When I tried to remove them, that would also remove
x-window-system! That seems like xprint is a necessary component and
can't be separated from X.
x-window-system is just a metapackage (a bunch of dependencies) that can be
removed without any worries.
So, if cups is the system default why did xprint stick it's nose into
Firefox's business? If I can't remove xprint, is there any way to change
it? Or, is this a Firefox problem, since no other app seems to be affected?
It's a Mozilla problem. Xprint is an initiative that spawned from the Mozilla
project. It's basically a translator that converts the X protocol to
Postscript. Also, it's pretty telling that the version in Debian is
0.1.0.alpha1-10, with no corresponding release being offered by the project
itself. It might get better with a transition to X.org which Xprint seems to
have become a part of.
