Enabling Google Cloud Print
To enable Google Cloud Printing ( https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/ ) for your Groovix print release queues, first contact Open Sense Solutions at 888-323-1742 to get the google cloud print connector installed on your Groovix server. You must perform the next step yourself because it involves logging into your google account that you will control and manage. If you'd like we can assist you through this process on the phone but please have these instructions available for reference. After this is complete let Open Sense know and we will complete the process.
1. Login to your Groovix server as root
2. run:
gcp-cups-connector-util init

The config file /root/gcp-cups-connector.config.json is ready to rock.
Keep it somewhere safe, as it contains an OAuth refresh token.

for each printer you want to make available in the cloud:
find the printer, click on share, change from private to "anyone with the link has access"
