Install Google Cloud Print in Ubuntu Linux

Open the terminal and run following commands :-

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:simon-cadman/niftyrepo
  • sudo apt-get update
  • 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.

Can not connect to Cloud Service, Google Cloud Print on Ubuntu Server.
