Hi,
Can someone tell me how I add a Google Cloud Printer to cups
once I have the cupscloudprint package installed?
Sorry I forgot to mention this is in F30. I found instructions for
the service but the service fails when started.
You may want to consider posting the instructions and service as well
as the error.
Is the cloudprint package part of the F30 release or did you acquire
it elsewhere?
Thanks Ed, I'll try and find the instructions again. The package wasn't
from the fedora repositories as I couldn't find anything via dnfdragora
that related to google cloud print, and at the moment cups doesn't show
any network printers at all, not even the printer that has already been
defined to google cloud print via windows.
I did find a methodology for activating google cloud print in cups from
a python application, but that applications was written in python 2.7
which is almost end of life, but that application required modules that
the fedora implementation doesn't have, and, when I downloaded the first
required module using the 2.7 version of pip, it downloaded and
installed a python 3 module into 2.7. I'm not sure why it installed the
python 3 package as when I look at the properties of the package it
clearly states it python 3. The other issue is one of the modules
require for python has been deprecated in 2.7 but is still there for
backwards compatibility but has been removed in python 3, hence we can't
use 2to3 to convert all the python 2 source to python 3.
I also found the source code for the google cloud print on github which
I downloaded, and one of the directories in that package is named
"systemd" and contains a single entry name cloud-print-connector.service
which I was able to enable via systemctl. When I tried to start that
service it wanted to run a program which didn't exist. The source code
for that program was present and I was able to compile it using "go" and
copy it to the location the service was trying to run it from but the
service still fails. It is possible the process is looking for other
modules that may need to be compile but at the moment I don't know what
they are. The messages from the service start are below:

These messages were obtained after running the gcp-connector-util
program to create the config file being used by the connector.
The URL of where I downloaded the connector from on github is
https://github.com/google/cloud-print-connector.
