[FreeNX-kNX] NX->RDP printing questions.

Greetings,
I have been playing with FreeNX using the Nomachine client for a while.
I'm investigating using it at work for remote desktop access.
Unfortunately, our application is a Windows only app, so we have been
running it on Windows TS's.
Using FreeNX to compress the RDP connections has been really nice. It
uses only about 10% the bandwidth of straight RDP.
I'd like to use FreeNX to do a windows->freenx windows desktop option ->
Terminal Server. The big stumbling block here is getting printers to
work in this situation.
windows -> freenx kde desktop printing works ok. I'd like to see if I
can get windows -> freenx windows RDP -> ts printing to work.
I've read some docs on how freenx handles printing to a kde desktop,
Does any one has any ideas how to extend this to a nx rdp session?
I have an idea, but I'd like to hear if anyone else has one.
Two other things:
Is there an open source windows client for NX?
nxdesktop seems to have issues connecting to an RDP server with > 8 bit
color. rdesktop does not. I looked at the nxdesktop code, and it looks
like there's just additional code for the nx stuff put into rdesktop,
does the code need to be updated?
Thanks,
