Problem with xfprint 4.2.1 plugins

[Aurelien Foret]

Hi,

Running xfprint4 gave me the following error at startup:

$ xfprint4
** ERROR **: Unable to load printing system module file_plugin.so
aborting...
Abandon

It seems my system was configured with the FILE backend, but AFAICS, the 
file plugin is not anymore delivered by xfprint 4.2.1.

Having a quick look at diffs between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1:

diff -ur xfprint-4.2.0/printing-systems/Makefile.in 
xfprint-4.2.1/printing-systems/Makefile.in

  DISTFILES = $(DIST_COMMON) $(DIST_SOURCES) $(TEXINFOS) $(EXTRA_DIST)
  ACLOCAL = @ACLOCAL@
  AMDEP_FALSE = @AMDEP_FALSE@

Is it the intended behaviour?

Moreover, then I try to set the plugin to either CUPS or BSD-LPF, but 
when I start xfprint4, I still get the same kind of error:

$ xfprint4
** ERROR **: Unable to load printing system module bsdlpr_plugin.so
aborting...
Abandon

However, both plugins are installed under the prefix "/opt/xfce4"

$ ll /opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/xfprint-plugins/

Any idea?

TIA,
