I was wondering if anyone has worked with and/or attempted to print via antiX using Google Cloud Print.

I have a couple of printers setup and accessible with Google Cloud Print (in Classic Mode as they are attached to an old Windows XP PC) and I can recognize them via Chromium on a Chromebook as well as a Windows 7 laptop via Chrome but not via Chrome on my antiX devices.

There are some posts when doing a search on the web of other users using other distros, such as Ubuntu, that had a package that could be installed called"cloudprint", to enable this capability but it does not appear to be a Debian package and available in the antiX repositories.

Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated.

From what I read the package is named cups-cloud-print, but maybe a synaptic search may be better....

Here is also a short how to I found but I have not been able to test either method.
If there is another deb package out there that will work I can add it to the test repo, or if you can link me the source I can try to build one for you. However keep in mind that you would have to test it as I do not use Google cloud print....

Dave,

Thanks for the reply, I have tried to install the package, cupscloudprint, via Synaptic but have not been able to successfully print yet.

There are a number of threads out on the web on this topic over the past month including:

I have been trying to use these as references and will continue to see what I can do to get this capability functioning on antiX as well as MX14.

Thanks.
