[FreeNX-kNX] Printing Through NX to RDP (Terminal Services)

Hi All,

I've been trying out tunnelling Windows RDP Terminal Services sessions through 
FreeNX recently, and with 0.7.0 it's been pretty impressive. There is a 
*noticeable* difference in speed and consistency when compared with straight 
RDP, even over a LAN. It makes slow connections infinitely more bearable.

However, I've hit a bit of a snag. I would like to print out from the server's 
application to my client printer, so this means mapping a printer from the 
client to the server somehow so documents can be printed back to the client. 
I need a way of doing the following:

Client printer ----> NX Server ----> Windows applications
       <--------------------------------------------------

I've been all over No Machine's knowledge base, and can't find a way to do 
this. The normal way of exporting printers and file shares to the server 
through the NX Client just doesn't apply for RDP connections because they are 
greyed out.

Is there a (reasonably) straightforward way of achieving this?

Thanks in advance,

David Legg
