 For single-node X2Go printing (means: all steps of the printing process take place on the same machine) only one further step for setting up X2Go printing is necessary: after installing the X2Go CUPS engine (package: ''cups-x2go'') you have to add a »Virtual X2go Printer« backend to your CUPS server. For single-node X2Go printing (means: all steps of the printing process take place on the same machine) only one further step for setting up X2Go printing is necessary: after installing the X2Go CUPS engine (package: ''cups-x2go'') you have to add a »Virtual X2go Printer« backend to your CUPS server.

 +   - Run x2goclient
 +   - Click on Settings (the wrench icon)

 +   - Select the "Print" radio button to print from a printer or select the "View as PDF" radio button to view as a PDF. (The command 'evince' worked better for me than xpdf. xpdf wouldn't run for some reason, even after I installed it).
