Something is going horribly wrong with the OpenGL support ;-(

Well, that's more a problem of xphelloworld not being able to pick a resolution itself when there is no default set by the printer. I remember it has an oprtion to set the resolution via command line (like Mozilla now as a GUI item for resolution/quality in the print options dialog) but I do not remember the details.

Half and half. I remember that someone said here that we're waiting for HP to donate their PCL driver code back to XOrg/Xprint.org but I don't know what the status currently is. PCL printing works from the HP machines but the PCL drivers in the XOrg tree are buggy. Very buggy. :-((
