You probably don't need it and it was not started by default before
xorg-printserver-6.8.2_1. I mistakenly changed the default to install rc
script as executable with .sh postfix so it got started by default. I
reverted this behaviour in xorg-printserver-6.8.2_2 until I (or someone)
come up with proper rcNG script for starting Xprt.
You can just remove /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/xprint.sh (or rename it to something
like xprint.sh.off or remove executable bits) script so it does not get
started as part of rc instead of upgrading xorg-printserver.
I apologise for inconveniences.
