What's tricky about it? You can use USB over IP on Linux in the real world today, so I can't see any reason why you couldn't pass devices from the thin client to the server in the same way. The only slight oddity is that you would pretend that it was a USB hub that got plugged and unplugged whenever the session connected and disconnected.

But I just realized the "USB printing support" stuff was maybe less about USB printers themselves and more about being able to have, say, 30 thin clients with 30 different printers hooked up but the application would know which printer was the right one (instead of showing 30 printers available, for example)
