cloudprintd (8)

cloudprintd [OPTION]...

The cloudprintd 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.

-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 cloudprintd 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

cloudprintd 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.

~/.cloudprintauth

Default location for storing account authentication credentials

~/.cloudprintauth.sasl
