 PSPrint is the default option used by vcl. To us Xprint change the

 Boydell along with colleagues in Hamburg and the US have added the
 capability to print with OpenOffice.org under Unix using XPrint
 originally as a short term solution. This was the quickest way we
 could get some form of printing into OpenOffice.org and is a complete
 different printing environment than in the StarOffice 5.2 version.
