In today's world, Xprint remains a topic of constant interest and debate. Over time, its relevance has increased and has impacted different sectors of society. From the personal level to the professional level, Xprint has proven to be a crucial point that cannot be ignored. Its influence has spread to all corners of the world, affecting people of all ages, cultures and conditions. In this article, we will explore in detail the various facets of Xprint and how it has shaped and continues to shape our reality.
Xprint is a deprecated[1] printing extension for the X Window System. It allows an application to render output to a printer just as it would to any other display device. The server portion, Xprt, uses an extension (XpExtension) to handle paged output devices. Xprint outputs as PostScript, PCL 3, PCL 5 or as a raster bitmap at printer resolution.
Xprint is based on ISO 10175 and other specifications.
Some applications and frameworks supporting Xprint include Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox, and the Qt, Athena, Motif and LessTif toolkits.
Xprint was first introduced in X11R6.3, rewritten for inclusion with X11R6.8 and removed from X.Org Server in May 2008.[2] Xprint is now available from a separate repository.
