I'm a kde user, and use 'kprinter', as it is more flexible than xpp, but I have used xpp in the past with no problem at all. There seems to be two groups of programs, and I don't know what separates them. Some talk to your existing setup directly, such as GEdit, and some have an extended lp0 print command. They seem to be the ones that give problems, but they are easily overcome by redirecting to xpp or kprinter. Anne
