Now if I could solve

these printing issues with thin clients.
On a local net it's easy, since you can have a cupsd running on the clients which have printers connected. With the browsing capabilities of cups an available printer will show up as soon as it's 'online', but _what_ if you want to connect via the internet? I don't want to open port 631 and I don't want to fiddle with a vpn...

Is it printing to local printers supported in NX?

NX provides support for SMB protocol, by which both local printers and file-systems can be made available to the remote session. Currently, printers and file-systems are "mounted" by the NX server. These resources can in turn, be mounted by a WinTSE machine. All the SMB communication, that is both file access and printing, takes place compressed through ZLIB. The compression level depends on the link speed. Enhancements have been added to the GUI to simplify sharing a printer or a resource but this is still a work in progress. At the moment there are still problems to fully integrate NX client with the local printing system (e.g. CUPS or Win printing).

The upcoming NX-1.4 will start to support printing from your remote X11 sessions to your local printers. The current 1.3.2 release doesnt support this yet -- but it supports all the speed gains you read about in the article and comments. To test the 1.4, look for the "1.4 snapshot" release on NoMachine.com. It is there in source form and you need to compile it. If you are a Debian user, visit Kalyxo.org for *.deb packages with a working "nxtunnel" script (that serves as a temporary placeholder until "FreeNX Server" is fully released).
