Hi Stefan,
I would prefer the solution suggested by Morty. Actually, I already thought about it and i want include it in new implementation of x2goclient. X2goclient will simply check a spool directory on server and download a print jobs in PDF format via existing libssh connection. This solution is much simpler, no need a cups, lpr, or ssh daemon running on a client and implementation is just the same for all operating systems. I can also implement this solution in current version of x2goclient if somebody will sponsor the development.
regards Alex
As I see it, X2Go printing works quite ok ATM (at least +/-).
IMHO, if someone like Orion (i.e. someone who is not yet one of the
core devs but has the capability to become one) comes with a patch
that works by 80%, then let's continue this discussion.
But till then... If people agree, could we please focus on things that
do _not_ work so well at the moment????
E.g.:
- MesaGLX software rastering of Unity & co.
- Appropriate resizing of GNOME-fallback sessions (Xrandr)
- xkeyboard-config-2.6 breakage
- Xfixes and KUbuntu
- weird LibreOffice font renderings
- multi-session support in X2Go Client
- integrate new desktop shells (like CINNAMON, MATE, etc.)
The bug tracker contains quite a list of open issues, too: http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/pkgindex.cgi?indexon=src
And also: before inventing a new session handshake protocol for
printing, we really should start documenting the current status quo of
all X2Go Client/Server v4 protocols that we have so far. (I surely put
myself on the list of not-enough-documenting devs, as well.)
light+love, Mike
