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
