Hi Tara, Xprint is in something of a "janitorial" state, so there may not be a true expert here to provide the correct answer you're after. If you're creating an app to print from, you might want to see if Cairo meets your needs. Cairo in a sense supersedes Xprint. To help with your troubleshooting, one suggestion might be to print to alternate printers, in particular to the PDF "printer" (xp_pdf_spooldir). The output pdf file is sent to /tmp/Xprintjobs/ (or ~/Xprintjobs/ on Debian). Is the result any different that way? You could similarly print to a postscript file and see how amenable the output is to the standard postscript utilities.
