Apologies, I grabbed the general version instead of the vetted version of this

I am unclear; I didn't actually author this rant.

See above.

I believe this stemmed from a misunderstanding, thinking that xprint.org was
still the canonical Xprint implementation.

Maybe 'xprint_site.def' is a clue as to comment #1?

Dude, stop being so hostile, please.  I suggest you review
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2004/10/msg00025.html and the rest of that thread.

You're welcome!
