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.
