[xorg 7] can't find xprint file

Hi all,
yesterday I migrated my system (2.6.15-r7) to modular Xorg - things went smooth and the x-server works appearently fine.
The only stain is the following message during the boot process:

I'm having the same problem on both a computer running Xorg 7.0-r1 and one running 6.8.2-r6.

Any news on that?
Having the same problem but did not find any other threads about it - so it's not a general thing?

I have the same problem. I also get this message every time I log in (text console/xterm/konsole etc.).

I simply commented out the lines in /etc/profile.d/xprint.*
So far no problems for me...

My seraches over the net show that the xprint-part of X11 isn't basically nedded anymore, but I'm still not sure about how and what to unmerge (still reading tons of docs to find out). This matches in fact with the solution to comment out the xprint part in profile.d, only that I want to get rid of it if it is useless to me... :roll:

So if it was part of xorg 6.x and it isn't anymore in xorg 7 you have to get rid of it manually - because the files are in /etc unmerging xorg 6.8 won't delete them...

It seems that you're right! I've found the same answer on a Debian mailing-list. I just removed the files:

/etc/init.d/xprint
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/92xprint-xpserverlist.sh
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/92xprint-xpserverlist.sh
/etc/profile.d/xprint.csh
/etc/profile.d/xprint.sh

Restarted the machine to test it - works like a charm! An extended search shows that there's nothing left of xprint on the computer (I just found one reference to a patch for xprint (/usr/portage/net-misc/nx-x11/files/nx-x11), but this has nothing to do with it.

xprint has been added back in. Remerge xorg-server.

It's a print server running over X and using an X display model. It's mostly used only by mozilla.org programs.

Perhaps it's due to kde, but my firefox prints and displays flawlessly without xprint (just tested it with several pages, including flash, java,dhtml...)

I'm tempted to use the -xprint use flag since it does not seem to be useful to me - or have I missed something?

I don't use Firefox in KDE, but in Gnome the advantage of xprint is that it lists available printers.
