in 4.2.2 the use of localhost as server is hardcoded in the cups plugin,
this was fixed in 4.2.3; you should retry with that version

strange because xfprint4 and the print manager use the same code to
retrieve the printer list

a2ps is needed on the client because xfprint uses it, and xfprint should
have asked for it at compile time
