This is raw TCP/IP, so the make and model of printer doesn't matter.
In fact, you could hook up a cheap GDI printer that only works with
Windows - as long as the print job is created on a Windows machine, it
would print.  Not really practical for X2Go, I think, but it would work,
as silly as it is.

Do make sure to set tcpprintonlyfrom=<allowedIP> (syntax is the same as
xinetd's only_from), though - else you might be in for a nasty surprise
sooner or later:

Please open an xterm or similar shell on the server (inside the X2Go
session).
Run

mount | tee mountbefore

then insert the USB flash drive, wait a moment, then run

mount | tee mountafter

diff mountbefore mountafter

This should show if any mounts are taking place.

Also, which Desktop Environment are you using? XFCE, MATE, LXDE, ...?

First, check that the audio isn't simply muted (some cards/setups do
this by default).  Run "pavucontrol" inside the X2Go session. Check the
settings on the tabs "Output Devices" and "Configuration".

If that doesn't help, please boot with additional boot parameter

audioout=list

and look at the output on console #8 (Hit Ctrl+Alt+F8) - it will give
you a list of available audio output devices.  This list also gets
written to /tmp/audiolog on the ThinClient.

You might have to pick a different one from the list, by using boot
parameter audiout with a particular card/output value, like:

audioout=“alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0|output:hdmi-stereo”

(you need to copy the proper value from the list).

As general advice, you might also want to take a look at
<https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#what_options_are_available_under_further-options-go-here>
for more options you can specify as boot parameters.

bg= and branding= might be interesting to you as well, to "theme" the
login screen towards your company CI, and xinerama= if you have
multi-monitor setups.
