X Window is a windowing system that is used widely on many computer 
platforms, including MacOSX.  See 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window>, there are links from this page 
to information about Quartz too.  It's the windowing system used by 
most versions of GnuCash on most platforms.  The Quartz based version 
of GnuCash, which I assume you are using (although you haven't said 
so), is much more recent and (I think) used by relatively few people. 
If you were to switch to the X-Window version on your Mac, printing 
might work better (although GnuCash wouldn't have the native look and 
feel the Quartz version has).  Since I have never tried the Quartz 
version I can't say too much about how it compares to the X Window 
version.
