If you do not need international text printing, it is best to get

But when I stop the xprint servers and use print in TBird, indeed
only the postscript menu item appears but using it to file is
excruciatingly slow and produces an unrecoverable error in GV.
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.

Spoke too soon again :-( You are absolutely right Jan Willem, stoppint
xprint servers and restarting X solves the whole thing. Goodbye xprint!
