It was unsupported, uninstallable and unusable during the Xorg 7
transition. Nobody seemed to miss it, and 9810kB just for xprint are
wasted space IMO.

IIRC Ubuntu stopped shipping it as well, xprint is deprecated
nowadays (Linux already has a working printing system). Google for
something like "xprint deprecated Daniel Stone".

If someone really wants xprint: just install it on your own. :)
