Hi Morty,

I also don't really see why x2goprint needs to be root.

The cups-x2go/x2goprint principle is as follows:

  o cups-x2go can run on x2goserver or on another print server
  o cups creates a PDF (as root)
  o cups-x2go scp-copies the file to x2gprint@x2goserver which might be local
  o cups-x2go calls x2goprint on x2goserver
  o x2goprint (as user x2goprint) will pick up the print job
  o ... move it to /tmp/...
  o chown to the x2go session user
  o ... and move the print job to the x2goclient (sshfs)

  => the chown part needs root privs...

Maybe we should really start thinking about a non-sudo way of getting the print job from the cups server to the x2goserver to the client...

Greets,
Mike
