I have prepared a patch for printer redirection support. I copied the code from the drive redirection patch. It is against 0.150. It searches for all printers and adds each one automatically.

I do have a concern about buffer overrun due to existing use of sprintf(buffer, ...) if someone deliberately puts too many printers on their system or printers with very long names. I'm not a professional programmer so it would be nice if someone could enlighten me as to why sprintf(buffer,...) is used instead of a GString?

    To use this patch, download tsclient 0.150 then run the commands:

    cd tsclient-0.150/
    patch -Np1 < printer_patch.patch
    autoconf
    ./configure && make

    As to your comment about sprintf, it's quite valid, it should be replaced.
