Yes! x2go server and tne cups server are in the same PC.

I can see this type of mount!
being logged in with my username, from the server in a console;  can change dir
to /tmp/spool_mario/mario-60-1312310981_stDGNOME_dp32
and I created 2 files in that directory:
$ Echo "some text"> x.txt
$ Echo "x.txt"> x.txt.ready

On the client PC, the window for print for x2go emerged.

Pressing the print button gave an error:

Window Title: Printing error
Failed to execute command:
C:\Archivos de programa\GhostGum\gsview\gsprint.exe -query -color C:/Documents
and Settings/mario/.x2go/S-mario-60-1312310981_stDGNOME_dp32/spool/x.txt
[OK button]

But that is not important; for now!

The important thing is that apparently the print jobs are not placed / created
in the directory
/tmp/spool_mario/mario-60-1312310981_stDGNOME_dp32

why?

Thanks Jhon!
