Using the cloudprint-service repository.

Here is how to add cloudprint to apt repository resources for your system, letting you install and automatically upgrade with standard tools.

First, add one of these references to the cloudprint PPA to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (as root):

# For Jessie/stable
deb http://davesteele.github.io/cloudprint-service/repo cloudprint-jessie main

# For Stretch/testing (requires systemd and python-daemon >= 2.0)
deb http://davesteele.github.io/cloudprint-service/repo cloudprint-stretch main

Add the repository key to your apt key ring:

$ wget https://davesteele.github.io/key-366150CE.pub.txt
$ sudo apt-key add key-366150CE.pub.txt

Install the packages with :

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cloudprint cloudprint-service

The packages will be updated with every 'apt-get upgrade'.

Login to Cloud Print (copy the provided URL to a browser window):

$ sudo cps-auth
...
$ sudo systemctl start cloudprintd.service
$ systemctl status cloudprintd.service

The service will start automatically from this point on.
