here's what I've done to allow my non-google cloud printing printer to be a cloud printer:

In my case I'm using the unstable version of chrome.  I created a script (start_cloud_print) that has the following information:

#!/bin/bash
ps -ef | grep cloud-print | grep -v grep > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" -eq "1" ]
 then
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/google/chrome:/opt/google/chrome-unstable  /opt/google/chrome-unstable/chrome
--type=service --enable-cloud-print-proxy --no-service-autorun --noerrdialogs --user-data-dir=/usr/local/etc/googlecloudprint/ &
fi

Since I run multiple terminal windows I only want my this to run once.  Then I have .bashrc exec start_cloud_print.  In this way I
ensure that my cloud printer get's started anytime I'm logged into my computer.  I suppose I could write  a systemd startup script
for this so*I wouldn't have to be logged in and this would run every time I restarted my laptop but...
