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

What about the contents of cloud-print-connector.service?
