- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:simon-cadman/niftyrepo
- sudo apt-get install cupscloudprint
- sudo /usr/share/cloudprint-cups/setupcloudprint.py
- After it asks for Google Credentials ( it will only do this is the
first time you have used CUPS CloudPrint, or your credentials are
invalid ) it will then ask if you wish to add all printers from your
Google Account.
- To make it work with Google's 2 Step Verification system, you must
create a "Device Specific" password, to do this go to:Google.com>Log
in with your account>Click on your user name>Security>Edit
authorizing applications>Enter your account pasword>set the
password.
- If you say ‘Y’ here, it will add all printers that are currently not
added to your CUPS install.
- If you would prefer to add the printers manually, say ‘N’ here, and
add a printer manually:
- Add a new printer ( via
http://127.0.0.1:631
or usual interface ) as a
‘Google Cloud Print’ network printer. Select the ‘Make’ as Google, and
‘Model’ as Cloud Print.
