Releases
We initially release builds on the Linux x86 platform; Solaris, HP-UX and AIX
ship with Xprint's server side by default, so you do not need to download or
build your own Xprint server on these platforms.
If the build you're looking for isn't here yet,
DON'T PANIC.
-
Build Xprint yourself and donate the build to us. We'll put it on the
download site for others to download. Read our
source code docs for info how to build
Xprint for your platform and email me if you want to contrbute
on how to do this.
Xprint 0.8 - Released May 12, 2003
- Downloads
Linux
AIX
Solaris
- Release notes:
-
This release supports TrueType fonts.
-
There is a new pseudo printer called
spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs
which will send PostScript jobs to the /tmp/Xprintjobs/
directory based on the spec for the PSspooldir printer model.
The Xprint FAQ contains details how to turn this feature on/off and how to customize it.
- Mozilla-specific notes:
-
Mozilla's Xprint module has it's own project pages at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/
-
Mozilla does not need to be updated if you want to use a newer version of Xprint's server side
(Mozilla's Xprint module is the client side of
Xprint while these downloads contain the server side).
Mozilla release 0.9.9 is sufficient to print using Xprint (Mozilla >= 1.0.1 (or Netscape >= 7) is recommended).
-
MathML support:
Place (or link) the MathML Type1 fonts
directory under
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and restart the Xprint server(s)
(using /etc/init.d/xprint restart ).
Note that newer Mozilla build (Mozilla 1.0.1 and Netscape 7 are not affected)
may have layout problems with printing MathML
(see bugzilla.mozilla.org
bug 155122).
-
Mozilla's Xprint module is explicitly disabled
in RedHat RPM builds (see bugzilla.mozilla.org
bug 133534).
Workarounds:
Xprint 0.7 - Released December 4, 2002
- Downloads
Linux
- Release notes:
-
This release does not support TrueType fonts.
TrueType font support is new in
008 - see the
"download" or "source"
pages how to get 008 trunk builds.
-
You can use Xprint even without a printer:
Edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/C/print/Xprinters and append
the following lines to enable the preconfigured sample printer for the
"PSspooldir " printer model (jobs for "PSspooldir "-based
printers will be send to the /tmp/Xprintjobs/ directory):
# Disable automatic lookup of printers
Augment_Printer_List %none%
# Enable preconfigured PSspooldir sample printer
Printer spooldir_tmp_Xprintjobs
