Where are the xp_* files created. I can't find them.

I haven't tried that, but I can print using OpenOffice... just tried
xpsimplehelloworld and it does produce a page... US letter size though.

My firefox0.9.1/xprint-20040707release-0.9.001 combination sends pages
to the printer, either English or Thai, and the network lights blink as
they are received, and the Ricoh AP 1600 says 'wake up' and 'processing'
and then 'ready'... nothing is produced. If I print to file, using
firefox's file, I get a beautiful rendition of the page, either Thai or
English, in question. If I then try to print that page... same routine.

Thanks for your help.
