failed to connect to server error #23

Closed TomHart closed 9 years ago

TomHart commented 9 years ago

I've just followed your PPA instructions, but when I run service cloudprintd login I get an error failed to connect to server error. Here's the log

root@abc:/# service cloudprintd login
Accounts with 2 factor authentication require an application-specific password
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/cloudprintd", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('cloudprint==0.11', 'console_scripts', 'cloudprint-cmd')()
  File "/usr/share/cloudprint/cloudprint/cloudprint.py", line 480, in main
    cups_connection = cups.Connection()
RuntimeError: failed to connect to server
root@abc:/#

Any idea what I need to do to get this issue to go away?

Under your Google 'Account Settings', do you have 'Access for less secure apps' set to 'On'?

cloudprint is currently a less secure app.

I only see this option when 2-step verification is off.
