I use it often - on many machine with many different configurations and do
not have the trouble you describe.
Printing.. Copy/Paste text, etc - all work great.

I do utilize the Windows 2003 RDC instead of the one that came with Windows
XP - so that MAY make a difference..

Otherwise - the only trouble I had with these options was when i installed
SP2 and then would have more than one RD connection open at a time - it
sometimes would not copy/paste unless I closed all but one of the sessions.
