This package, along with libxfcegui4 and mousepad, should be
dropped.

Both libxfcegui4 and xfprint are dead and buried, and no longer 
developed or supported upstream.

The only app that used the above pkgs was/is mousepad.
But even it, in its current incarnation, is also dead.
(It is being completely rewritten from scratch but no eta.)

It is suggested that leafpad be used as editor instead.

FWIW other distros; fedora, gentoo, arch etc, have already
dropped them.
