XPrint printing is not available in the VMS packages on
ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4/mozilla-openvms-alpha-m140.sfx_axpexe

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read http:///www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/,
http://xprint.mozdev.org/docs/Xprint_FAQ.html  and launch a XPrint print server
on a remote Linux box.
2. $SET XPSERVERLIST=linux:33
3. Launch Mozilla.
4. Open print dialog.
Actual Results:  
Print dialog offers Postscript/Default as only printer.

Expected Results:  
Print dialog should offer all printers on the XPrint printing server.

Analysis of the package files shows that the XPrint code is missing completely.
Wrong component.  In any case, what options the package is compiled with is up
to the person taking their time to contribute the package.  Feel free to contact
them and ask them to compile with xprint or to find someone else to compile with
xprint.

I haven't ported any of the Xprint stuff to OpenVMS. Don't think there's much
call for it since OpenVMS doesn't have an Xprint server (as far as I know).

FYI, I'm not the OpenVMS maintainer anymore.
Mr Blake...I disagree, we could use the Linux XPrint server on a Debian machine.

Who is in charge of constructing OpenVMS Mozilla packages right now when you are
not responsible anymore?

I would suggest you contact the OpenVMS eBusiness Product Manager. That's

Any news from HP ?
