NAME¶

cloudprint - share CUPS printers with Google Cloud Print

SYNOPSIS¶

cloudprint [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION¶

The cloudprint script makes locally defined CUPS printers available to a Google account, enabling local or remote printing from such services as the Chrome browser, Chrome OS devices, or Android devices. This is a lower-level command. Cloud Print services would normally be managed through the cloudprint service. The cloudprint utility is linked as cloudprintd for the cloudprint-service package.

OPTIONS¶

-a <account_file>

path to Google account ident data (default ~/.cloudprintauth). The format of the file is not public.

-c

establish credentials to the service, then exit.

-d

run in daemon mode.

-f

fast poll, if notifications aren't working.

-i regexp

include local printers matching regular expression from the start of the printer name.

-l

log out of the Google account. This deletes the account identification file, requiring reauthentication the next time cloudprint is run.

-p <pid_file>

path to PID file in daemon mode (default cloudprint.pid).

-u

store username/password in addition to login token to avoid authentication expiration.

-v

verbose logging.

-x regexp

exclude local printers matching regular expression from the start of the printer name.

-h

display help

cloudprint will prompt for a username and password if the information has not been provided. If two-factor authentication is enabled for the account, then an application-specific password must be used.

FILES¶

~/.cloudprintauth

Default location for storing account authentication credentials

~/.cloudprintauth.sasl

Default location for storing internal authentication tokens
