I want to install this repo https://github.com/armooo/cloudprint on my raspberry pi. The instruction is here https://baxeico.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/raspberry-pi-google-cloud-print/

I have 

sudo apt-get install cups
sudo apt-get install python-daemon python-cups
sudo dpkg -i cloudprint*.deb
sudo service cloudprintd login

Then i got the error message shown here:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo service cloudprintd login Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/cloudprintd", line 5, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2707, in working_set.require(requires) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 686, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 584, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pycups

I tried to fix this by:

sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev

But nothing seems to work. Any help will be appreciated!

I have tried pip install pycups and I have an error message like this:

building 'cups' extension

gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -DVERSION="1.9.73" -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c cupsmodule.c -o build/temp.linux-armv7l-2.7/cupsmodule.o

cupsmodule.c:22:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

As a general rule of thumb if you see an error like:

fatal error: Something.h: No such file or directory

It usually means you are missing a something-dev package from the repositories.

In this case apt-get install python-dev was the dependency for pycups (a Python package)

And once you get pycups cloudprint should work.
