Out of curiosity, are your X2go servers in the same network (not 
necessarily the same IP subnet, just part of your "internal" network) as 
the clients, and are you dealing with a static client setting (as 
opposed to visitors bringing their own devices and wanting to print)?

If so, I would install the LPR service on Windows, allow CUPS on the 
Ubuntu clients to talk to the CUPS server on your x2go server, set up 
the printers on the server-sided CUPS, and bypass the X2go printing 
method entirely.

Of course, if you're connecting via the internet and not using a VPN 
connection, this isn't viable for security reasons.
