Details

Currently there's either no method to extract debugging info from XPrint subsystem in Mozilla or it's undocumented. For example using standard NSPR log facility (see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/reference/html/prlog.html) one can extract very useful protocol debug logs for: * IMAP, POP, NNTP, or SMTP: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/mailnews/mail-troubleshoot.html * HTTP: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/http-debugging.html I currently have a mysterious problem where Mozilla apparently doesn't try to contact the XPrint server even though XPSERVERLIST is set properly and sample clients work well. If I could just set some environment variables (e.g. NSPR_LOG_MODULES=XPrint:5 NSPR_LOG_FILE=~/moz_xprint.log) to get a dump of XPrint subsystem log messages, I probably could track down the problem...
xprint support code was removed from Mozilla trunk, so this won't ever get added.

Then the removal should be noted on the Mozilla XPrint page: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/ The page currently draws an idealised picture of XPrint and plans for its future use in Mozilla, but its contents haven't been updated for a couple of years already.
