For kings I understand this comment, but can you explain how it applies to 
XPrint?


The replacement for XPrint would be cairo which has PostScript and PDF 
output backends.


FTR, the actual XPrint server has been removed from the main Xorg 
repository. It's still available in its own repo (a fork of the main 
repo just before the removal), but it's actively *un*maintained.


Cheers :)

If anyone cares, yell now. Otherwise, they will be gone from portage in 
30 days.


To those who believe XPrint and Low-Bandwidth X are still useful: get 
yourself a clue :)
