Hi all,
in a phone conference Heinz, Alex and I have talked about printing not being a very core feature of X2go Server. Esp. the x2goprint use is not needed on X2go Servers that are used without the print facility.
Because of this I have made a proposal in X2go Git that move X2go client-side printing support back into a separate package (x2goserver-printing).
Please take a look at the committed changes (x2goserver.git) and comment.
<snip> I would agree that is makes sense to keep it as a separate feature. I do hope there is no discussion of removing support as I do think X2Go would be woefully incomplete without it. Thanks - John
That is debatable:-) We use X2Go totally without the need for client-side printing. What is the purpose of central printers and central print-servers and diskless thin-clients, when every user gets his own printer and then needs printing at his place. But I do see the need for client-side printing for other scenarios, so I welcome the package split...
Have fun,
Arnold
