<!-- Process this file with DocBook tools to generate the output format
(such as manual pages or HTML documents).

Note that strings like __mansuffix__, __filemansuffix__, __libmansuffix__,
__miscmansuffix__ etc. have to be replaced first (in theory that's the
job of ENTITIES but some XML tools are highly allergic to such stuff... ;-().
A quick way to do that is to filter this document via
/usr/bin/sed "s/__mansuffix__/${MANSUFFIX}/g;s/__filemansuffix__/${FILEMANSUFFIX}/g;s/__libmansuffix__/${LIBMANSUFFIX}/g;s/__miscmansuffix__/${MISCMANSUFFIX}/g"
assuming that env vars like MANSUFFIX etc. have been set to the matching
manual volume numbers.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para><command>xpsimplehelloworld</command> is a sample utility for Xprint, the
      printing system for the X Window system. It demonstrates how to send a test page to
      the specified printer (or the default printer, if none is specified) using plain X11
      rendering instructions and without using special toolkit support (like one of
      the special Xt print shell widget classes
      (such as
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>XmPrintShell</refentrytitle><manvolnum>__libmansuffix__</manvolnum></citerefentry>
      or
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>XawPrintShell</refentrytitle><manvolnum>__libmansuffix__</manvolnum></citerefentry>)).
