then tries to use the video server as the print server. If the printer name is not specified via XPRINTER, <xrx> looks for it in the variables PDPRINTER, then LPDEST, and finally PRINTER,
Notes
When an authorization key is created for a remote application to use the X Print service, the helper program has to create the key with an infinite timeout since nobody knows when the application will actually connect to the X Print server. Therefore, in this case, the helper program stays around to revoke the key when the application goes away (that is when its video key expires). However, if the helper program dies unexpectedly the print authorization key will never get revoked.
