LibXp / printing service

Hello,

I wanted to ask about printing service, because to my surprise I had very big problems to find anything on web. This was very odd. Maybe I had wrote bad phrases in search, but still, only one thing I've found is libXp, which is no longer supported from couple of years.
I finally installed it from manual source, but I had problems with opening display.
Anyways, what do you use for printing? You still have to use something? Is it obsolete too or what happened what I missed?
I have some experience with XLib/X11, which is pretty difficult and complicated, but this one got me thinking wth is going on. There is no replacement for libXp and I had big problems to find any information about libXp itself.
I just wanted to create some context for printing and paint my window there using normal X11 calls not some complete new ones to rebuild once again everything like ghostscript.

Thanks for any answer, greetings!
