I can reproduce your discussion exactly - i.e., when I try to print from an Ubuntu server running x2goprint nothing comes out on the Windows client side...when I used his "mount" command suggestion, I get a mount like you described.

Hello Ted;


What I did was, while connected to the remote desktop x, with a user belonging
to the group x2gousers (and / or group x2gouser, documentation is ambiguous!) I
created a couple of files in the directory that appears when you run the mount
command (mentioned by John in the other thread on the list),  a pdf file (/ tmp
/ [remote user's spool directory] / x.pdf) and another named x.pdf.ready (/ tmp
/ [remote user's spool directory] / x.pdf.ready). Immediately a window appears
asking, in the client PC, howprint the file received! That's all, so no problems
with the client side, in x2goclient for windows.

I do not think the problem is in mounting the user's spool directory.
There may be a permissions issue, related to the user x2goprint, which the
documentation is added to the file / etc / sudoers, but in the installation on
Debian systems is never created.

The questionis; to make a debugging or rewriting the scripts cups-x2go and
x2go2print (the latter is called by cups-x2go),
Having clear which is the road that runs when selecting a printer in cups, the
files involved in a print job, directories involved in tehe print job, and what
the directory structure that handles x2goserver when a particular user is
connected, you could have more knowledge what does the scripts mentioned.
I mean the specification of the operation of printing on x2go instalation.
  
Maybe we can find this information on the development list?

And know some Perl! :-)

Mario.
