[FreeNX-kNX] FreeNX Server with CIFS client printing

[Carlos Sosa]

Hello:


Maybe the time has come to:

Start building a roadmap to show what parts of freenx are not working ok, or

Searching other alternatives to overcome printing inconveniences, let me
humble suggest 

tinc-vpn.org node (hamachi free alternative)

Waiting comments from developers if this addon is possible.

Regards


Carlos
