"Does the CUPS server have rights to write to the client's spool directory? Good luck - John"

Hi John - how are you? Good question...spent some time trying to check by comparing server where we connect directly to the x2go server vs. x2go running on a Vserver guest including on both: /tmp/.x2go-user1/spool/C-user1-50-1347811312_stDGNOME_dp24 (see below) /var/spool/cups

Even if we (assuming no mistakes) make the permissions comparable on both the x2go to x2go server and the x2go to x2go server on Vserver guest on these folders, no joy.

This may be the right track, though....a couple of observations/questions: a) On the box where we connect directly the x2go server (no vserver involved), in the .x2go folder for the user there is a healthy "spool" link - on the vserver example, this link exists but is broken (they both point at /tmp); Bertl at Vserver says this is OK. b) When we try to print, on the working x2goclient to x2goserver (again, no vserver), the /tmp/.x2go-user1/spool/C-user1-50-1347811312_stDGNOME_dp24 folder gets created along with the pdf for the print job. NOTE: this does not happen on the x2go client to x2go server on Vserver guest. I.e., no comparable folder is created. So this folder which we think gets generated on the fly, only gets generated on the x2go to x2go server (not the instance where we connect to the x2go server on the vserver guest).
