Wiki: Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint

[pepedog]

In this guide there is a few problems
http://Arch Linux ARM.com/index.php5?title=Guide:Google_Cloud_Print_and_Apple_AirPrint&redirect=no
I can get my head around a lot of things but the wiki is so annoying, plus I don't like fiddling with others work.

First for AirPrint, there must be a line in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf that is
ServerAlias *
and cups must be stopped when editing

Next, the file airprint-generate.py must have the first line changed to
#!/usr/bin/env python2

Next if this is run
airprint-generate.py -d /etc/avahi/services
it will save moving the files

Now Google Cloud, cloudprint.py must have the first line changed to
#!/usr/bin/env python2

Is this also supposed to be kept running, it doesn't demonize or finish, so maybe installing and running screen is needed?

That's all I got to say about that.

I see in the guide https://github.com/armooo/cloudprint/blob/master/README.rst that cloudprint can be installed with
pip install cloudprint
So a package could be built?

Also it can be run in daemon mode, in the wiki method with /opt/cloudprint/cloudprint.py -d

Might be worth packaging, if anyone wants to tackle that project.

I thought I was going to be helpful this morning and add an airprint wiki, but someone beat me to it.
The python script didn't work for me. I get an error at line 25 no module named cups. Any ideas?

FWIW, I modified the example files I found on line.
