If I right click on the text and choose File Print nothing happens. If I run Xiphos from gnome terminal, the following lines get generated when I attempt to print..

I tried using a second Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installation on another computer and get the same result.
It works for me. Must have been fixed along the way so I'm closing this.
