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.
Thanks, Mike

Of course, it will stay. Esp. as a component of the x2goserver source
code and as a component itself. The main reason of the splitting up is
the necessary creation of an extra user when run in multi-server (CUPS
server != X2go server(s)) mode.
Thanks, Mike

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

So, as you did mention,
