NAME
cloudprintd - share CUPS printers with Google Cloud Print
SYNOPSIS
cloudprintd [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
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.

-
establish credentials to the service, then exit.
- -d

-
fast poll, if notifications aren't working.
- -i regexp

- -l

-
path to PID file in daemon mode (default cloudprint.pid).
- -u
-
store username/password in addition to login token to avoid authentication expiration.

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.
