cloudprint 0.5-0ubuntu1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu utopic
This program shares the locally available CUPS printers to the Google
Cloud Print service (http://
on your local printers from whereever you can send jobs to the Google Clou
Print service, especially from mobile devices, like smartphones, tablets, and
computers running Google Chrome OS.
.
Google itself only offers to either use HP ePrint printers (network printers
which can receive print jobs by e-mail) or to use the Chromium browser as
server to share the local printers to Cloud Print. The latter is officially
only supported under Windows and Mac OS X, but under Linux it can be enabled
through a secret "Cheat Mode", entering the URL "about:Flags" and enabling the
“Cloud Print Proxy” entry, then clicking the wrench at the upper right and
selecting "Preferences" -> "Under The Hood" and there will be a "Google
Cloud Print" section near the end of the list.
.
So these methods are awkward, running a full-featured browser only to make
available ones printers or to have to use a printer out of small choice of
models.
.
This package provides a simple lightweight command line tool, which one simply
starts (as a normal user) and after logging into the Google accounts it
submits the info about the locally available printers and polls the jobs from
Google once a minute.
.
Run "cloudprint -h" and read /usr/share/
to use the program.
