attached-to-ansi printing will also work, if both your UNIX application and
the client you are using to access the UNIX systemn support it. If they do,
this is nice because you don't need to setup additional queues on the
server - it uses your existing Windows printers, including any redirected
RDP client printers.

In my own environment we use the ssh.com Secure Shell Client for Windows to
access Solaris hosts and run Pine. Within Pine, we can use attached-to-ansi
printing and actually print to the machine running the RDP client.
