requests>=2.7.0

I followed all directions and believe I've I have all dependent packages installed. I get the following output. My apologies if this is user error. Thank you for any guidance. Gene

This is a known problem with older distribution releases. Try:

sudo pip install -U requests

(The '-U' may not be needed)

Or, if you are in a Debian/Ubuntu-derivative environment, the packaged version solves the problem.

Armooo, I addressed this with this patch

David,

Thank you very much! I successfully installed the packaged version and
verified that the connector successfully installed the cloud printer (it
was listed on the google website). Again thanks!!

I just purchased a new Chromebook for my elderly Mom. It appears that her
wireless Brother printer is not compatible with Google cloud print (tried
everything I could find online with no luck). I have a old netbook lying
about unused and installed Lubuntu 15.10, the Brother print drivers, and
now cloudprint. My plan is just to leave this tiny netbook running aside of
her printer. I'm not too familiar with Daemons. Should I just put
"cloudprint -d" in the .bashrc? Any other suggestions?

This is awesome!

Happy Holidays,

Gene

If you installed 'cloudprint-service', the daemon part is taken care of.

Note that the service version stores authentication information in a different place. Use cps-auth to establish.

Any further discussion on package-based issues should move to https://github.com/davesteele/cloudprint-service/issues
