Created attachment 521482 [details, diff] patch Xprint has been gone from all Xserver releases for the last 9 years. I'd like to remove libXp and printproto. Motif can avoid the libXp dependency by passing --disable-printing to configure.
I am a bit concerned that reverse dependencies will still require XmPrintSetup(3) etc. when linking, even if that code will be non-functional by now. But I guess the only way to find that out (especially for third-party binaries where Motif is popular with) is to give it a try and see if anyone will complain.
