Hi list,
this question goes out to all the Windows users of the X2go-Client:
Has anybody ever tried to use "Sumatra PDF" as a PDF endpoint on the
Windows client, instead of Adobe Reader?
It seems rather interesting, as it is GNU licensed, offers commandline
options to print a file to the default printer (or show a print dialog)
and auto-terminate itself after printing has finished (look for
"Command-line arguments" in the online manual linked below).
Info in English:

I'd love to try it out myself, but I haven't managed to get
printing/showing a PDF on the Client to work at all so far, thus testing
Sumatra PDF doesn't really make sense on my client yet.
So here's to crowdsourcing - anybody ever tried it, anybody with a
working client printer setup willing to try?
Kind Regards,
Stefan
