out of interest, how do you print a document without a command line and
without going into a document editor of some kind?
Start xpp, drop file in File-strip, select printer, click Print
(acctually doesn't work excactly as advertised here with xpp 1.5 and
rox 2.3. You have to trim the "file://" part)
Xfce has a printer icon to add to its launch-bar that you can drag-n-drop
to (haven't tried it myself though).

I hadn't heard of xpp. I built it, selected a pdf printer (to save
paper in case of disaster) and tried dropping an Open Office
spreadsheet file into it. It crashed with no messages and disappeared.
It's probably far too much to ask for tools like this to understand
filetype associations and bring up the right apps. I showed that at
least in this case it didn't work.
