google cloudprint *client* for fedora?

[Neal Becker]

I just got a google cloud enabled printer.  Is there a _client_ for fedora to 
work via cups?  Thanks.

forgot to add that you have to have the Service State file setup as well.  Mine
looks like this:

$ cat /usr/local/etc/googlecloudprint/Service\ State

{
  "cloud_print": {
    "email": "me(a)gmail.com",
    "auth_token":

In GTK+ 3.14, the print dialog is the client.

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@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@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@lou ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i google
google-chrome-beta-39.0.2171.19-1.x86_64
[root@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@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/ge...
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@lou ~]# 
cat /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/googleCloudPrint.service
[Unit]
Description=Google Chrome running headless as Cloud Print Server

Looks like I download the CUPSPRINT RPM rather than using a repository.

Hope this helps

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...

I've done this on  a couple of workstations, both printing to a remote Google 
Cloud printer and active as a server to allow a traditional printer over 
Google Cloud Print.

I can't remember how to do it, but Googling "Google Cloud Print Linux" is
all 
I did to get started. 

You will need to install Google Chrome too as this is what's used for both the 
client and server options.

It's working for me.

This requires Gnome Online Accounts, right? I'd love to try it but last
I checked, GOAL still doesn't work with Google's two-factor auth.
