("RFE: /etc/init.d/xprint should have a diagnostics option(s)")]:
RFE: Extend the "diag" option of /etc/init.d/xprint

Some ideas (from http://xprint.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4805):
-- snip --
RRE: /etc/init.d/xprint should have one or more diagnostics options to collect
and analye problems (mainly font installation issues) on customer machines.

Informations which should be collected (draft):
- OS (% uname -a # + information whether
Debian/SuSE/Mandrake/RedHat/other-Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX etc. is being used)
- Is /etc/init.d, /etc/rc.d, /etc/profile.d/ present ?
- Where are the Xprt config files installed ?
- Which print spoolers are installed (CUPS, LPRng, native (Solaris etc.)) ?
- If there is one (or more) running Xprint server:
    - Display ID
    - Font path
    - xdpyinfo output
- Fonts:
    - Font path of Xfree86/Xsun
    - Where does the system have fonts installed ?
    - Where is encodings.dir installed ?

Drew:
Any more ideas what the functions should collect ?

As far as font problems go, on a Debian system it might be useful to know which
font packages are in fact installed.  This can be done with either dlocate or
"dpkg -S" against the font directories,
e.g.
$ dlocate /usr/share/fonts | uniq -W 1
or (more slowly)
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts

If we are going ahead with the idea of extracting fontpaths from Xserver config
files, then the diagnostic might want to test for the existence of those config
files.

Probably want to report the version of Xprt if possible.

More items to test:
- Is the "Xprt" binary from Xfree86, xprint.mozdev.org, Sun, HP etc. (see bug
5239) ?
- xplsprinters output should check for spaces in printer names (see bug 5239)
- md5 hash of Xprt binary should be printed
- Is the PSdefault printer model-config present ?
- Are the PSdefault model fonts present, incl. fonts.dir ?
- Which resolution do the PSdefault model fonts have (1200DPI=old, 2540DPI=new)
?
