Ubuntu/LTSP disables a lot of needed services by default for
both thin and fat clients, I've filed a bug about this in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/694066
Apart from the governor, that probably includes the CUPS service
as well, see if that's what's causing your printer-related issues.

Disable nbd-proxy to lower CPU usage
(see comment #13 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/589034)
and re-enable compression in /etc/ltsp/ltsp-update-image.conf to allow
about 2.5 times more data to be sent with the same bandwidth.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
