Beloved Gnome maintainers - and tsclient

Hello list, this is my first post.  I apologize if no one else cares about
tsclient, but it is a program that I use every day.   A while back, someone
submitted a disk sharing patch (for RDPv5) that works pretty well.  It was
submitted through this list and eventually added to the package.

I needed a printer sharing patch as detailed in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tsclient/+bug/233784  So I
downloaded the source package, tore apart the Internet looking for how to
properly enumerate printers, and made a patch.  I submitted it to the
launchpad address above.  The printer redirection allows the remote computer
access to send print jobs to the local computer (VERY useful if you need
it).

This is the first patch I have submitted to a project and I want to do
things right.  I submitted the patch to Ubuntu maintainers, Debian
maintainers, and upstream on Sourceforge.  Apparently, I may be the last
person on the planet interested in printing for tsclient.  If there is
anything you can do or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly
appreciated.

I modeled the patch after the disk sharing patch.  It is very stable, have
been using it for several months in a production environment with no
problems.  It is simple, one checkbox and all printers on the system are
added.

Many thanks,

Respectfully,

-Joseph Miller
