I've looked closer on the Fedora 1 problem, XPrint server seems to be 
working properly. Example clients distributed with it print 
successfully, but Mozilla 1.6 distributed with Fedora (Gecko/20040115) 
doesn't contact the server at all. It was contacting with some previous 
versions, though :(

If only I could get some debug info from Mozilla...

Roland, I've filed a bug 251186 in Mozilla's Bugzilla for implementing 
some debugging facility for XPrint subsystem in Mozilla:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251186

Such a thing would probably help in this Fedora case. Stracing Mozilla 
will be difficult (I think) as it has lots of threads running and does 
lots of things when performing simple operations.

I'm attaching a strace of Mozilla process when I open a printing dialog 
box, but I don't see anything useful there. Does Mozilla triy to 
discover XPrint servers at launch instead of when opening printing dialog?
