In theory the 23bit RPM should be fine (Xprint is client/server based
where both sides are communicating via the X11 protocol (which is
OS/platform-independent) to each other) ... did you hit any problems
with it (BTW: Which Linux distribution do you use ?) ?

Half and half... Mozilla has a print module which acts as Xprint client
to drop print jobs to the printer. This project is for the Xprint server
side and OS/platform integration (Mozilla's side doesn't have to bother
with these issues, the Xprint protocol abstracts all the details and
provides an uniform API and the Xprint server handles then all the
platform/spooler/etc.-specific details) ...
