Hmm, that's not good.  It's supposed to just continue with glitching
like this.

Can you check a few things?

- is XPSERVERLIST still defined? (check with "echo $XPSERVERLIST" for
instance)

- what happens if you start the server manually with "/etc/init.d/xprint
restart" ?

- is Xprt running at all? (check with "ps aux | grep [X]prt")

- does "xplsprinters" return anything?

- is there any change after running "xprehashprinterlist"


My suspicion is that you're caught in the middle of the X11R7
transition, which has only just hot testing this week.  My guess is that
you got the new xprint but are missing some of the new libraries, so
Xprt is crashing at start up.  This particularly seems likely since if
you now have a full X11R7 system then you should have trouble running
the old version of xprint. Since the old one still works normally,
you're probably only part way through the transition. If this is the
case then your problem should disappear over the next few days as you
pick up the entire X11R7 system.


Please be advised that when the new Xprint is working, there will a
severe degradation of font quality. This should be fixed with the next
version coming from X11R7.1, which was recently released upstream and
will hit unstable (and then testing) "soon".
