Well, it's the CAPABILITY that's fundamental. Given an X dump,
it's reasonable to want to print out that image. The program
xpr converts the X dump to a postscript file, which can then
be sent to lpr or lp. The same capability
must be available in some other debian program.
But also, xpr IS referenced on the xwd man page, so in that
sense xpr could be considered fundamental.

I used it on my redhat (5.0) system, and so I had assumed
that it came from there. But before that, I used Solaris
at work, so maybe that's were I originally got it.
I just tried to execute (on debian) the xpr
binary I got off my Redhat 5.0
system, and it said "can't load library 'libXmu.so.6' ". On
my debian system, I DO have a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6, but
it's a link to libXmu.so.6.0 (which I also have). Why can't
it load that?
