No, they never removed that feature. They removed something else, but that is not relevant for us.

Ah, this is your workaround. ;-)

You can as well try me wrapper script, which should enable CUPS1.2 usage:

http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/freenx/nx-utils/nxcupsd-wrapper/

Copy nxcupsd-warpper to for example ~.

Do:

$ chmod a+x ~/nxcupsd-wrapper

Change the path /usr/sbin/cupsd in NXClient 4th tab to /home/<your user>/nxcupsd-wrapper.

- Connect and see what you get.

You can find more information also about the error in /home/<youruser>/.nx/cups/error_log.
