Just had a quick look at one of by boxes and found the following which I used 
to set up a traditional printer as a cloud printer.

The bit you want is the other way round, to be able to print to an already 
configured GoogleCloud printer. For this you need to install the following 
RPM

[root at lou ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i cloud
cupscloudprint-20140814-1.noarch

Not sure which repository that wa from but may have been from the Google one 
shown below.


[root at lou ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo 
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
[root at lou ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i google
google-chrome-beta-39.0.2171.19-1.x86_64
[root at lou ~]# ll Downloads/
total 57512
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     1722 Jul  2 17:05 generate_cloudprint_config.py.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58888025 Jul  2 17:01 
google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
[root at lou ~]# 

(There was a problem with the stable version which is why I then removed it 
and installed the beta version. Can't remember what the problem was though.

Then under the user I am using for the service (gary) I did

wget 
http://www.google.com/support/enterprise/static/chromeos/docs/admin/en/generate_cloudprint_config.py.zip
unzip generate_cloudprint_config.py.zip 
chmod 770 generate_cloudprint_config.py
./generate_cloudprint_config.py 


Once the printers were set up an working I created the service unit file and 
started it.

[root at lou ~]# 
cat /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/googleCloudPrint.service
