Restarting X will cure the "slowness" problem; I cannot reproduce the 
"error" problem (on Sid). Actually by "getting rid of" I meant something 
like

dpkg --purge xprint xprint-common

This, as I said, should only be done, on Debian, if you do not care 
about "international" printing (printing the full UTF-8 character set). 
Other distributions (e.g. Ubuntu Breezy) seem to have found solutions 
for international printing which avoid the buggy xprint. Some form of 
"freetype printing", perhaps.
