Nothing was needed to be changed in the FreeNX code itself, but there  
were some issues with CUPS version and openssl libraries.

I just downloaded 0.7.1 and moved the FreeNX scripts over to the same  
server (after taking copies of my 0.7.0-3.1 scripts, of course). I am  
still having printing issues. I guess I am just being a little slow-to- 
learn with the SMB/CIFS printing. Would it be possible to provide some  
hand-holding here?

What should I check for in the client and server-side once the NX  
connection is made with printer configured? Which port on the server  
and client-side?
And what is the syntax to check for the share from command-line from  
the server-side?
