It wasn't in X11r6, but was added in X11r6.1 or so, to match the CDE printing 
(DtPrint).

For OpenGroup one part of printing is in X (this is an X server extension
which is implemented as Xprt, an X server for printing; and also a client 
library to
access the printing API's, which is libXp).

Another part is in Motif (XmPrint*).

A third part is in the CDE desktop implementation (DtPrint) - a Motif dialog 
box
to pop up to select a printer, number of copies to print, etc; and a couple of 
daemons.

My current problem is that documentation describing all this is scarce. This is
especially true about DtPrint : I have yet to find something about it.
