More information.  One of my customers on Mac OS 10.6.6 suddenly
developed the problem.  What transpired was that the customer does not
like Epson printers, so she handed it down to another Windows user and
got herself a brand new shiny HP Office Jet 7500A attached on the
USB bus.  No Ethernet connection.  And it is her only locally
attached printer.

The original customer had an HP Officejet 7500 E910 attached on
the Ethernet (dnssd).  He also had a Laster Jet on the Ethernet.
The problem reproduced regardless of with or both printers
got mapped.

This means:

1) the problem is not the network attachment of printers on
the clients computer

2) the problem exists no matter which printer or printers
get mapped.

3) the problem is the presence of the Office Jet
driver even if it is not mapped to rdesktop.

Cord (cord.sourceforge.net) is the work around to this
problem.  Sadly, it does not support seamless apps, but
I really do not care for them anyway (can't set the
default printer, error messages don't always display,
you can't go into Task Manager to kill a jammed program,
etc.).

Hope this helps in the troubleshooting.

Many thanks,
