[FreeNX-kNX] Local printer support not working

[Prakash Velayutham]

Hi,

I got this working about a year ago between Windows XP client and  
OpenSUSE 10.2 FreeNX server (0.7.2), but it does not work anymore for  
me too. Don't know what broke. I have asked the same question in the  
forum before, but have not heard from anyone.

I would like to help with getting this to work if some development is  
needed. I just don't have enough understanding of how NX scripts work.  
So, if someone is willing to at least give me an initial push, that  
would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Prakash
