By complete chance on the mailing list today this same issue was mentioned: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cloud-print-connector/5uRd_SoDxz0.
I discovered there is an option cups_ignore_raw_printers which by default is set to true and indeed I have a raw printer. I have set this to "false" and now I get:
[19/Feb/2018:03:34:27 +0000] [Printer Brother_MFC-7340] Failed to call cupsGetPPD3(): 1030 Not Found
I don't believe the drivers are supported out of the box for the PI which is why I had this set to RAW (which works fine for normal printing).
Is there a way around this?
supply a PPD file to CUPS? (as I mentioned in the other thread, failing to do that was the blunder that I had made)
I tried that, but I got this:
Idle - "File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperMFC7340" not available: No such file or directory"
Basically it is because there is no printer driver available out of the box for the MFC-7340 for the PI. So I had to use the RAW printer driver which works fine locally.
It is just the cloud print connector doesn't seem to support it.

I've read the entry in https://github.com/google/cloud-print-connector/wiki/Common-problems about the "Printers are already in sync; there are 0" message which I indeed see on my Raspberry PI (Linux pi1 4.9.35-v7+ #1014 SMP Fri Jun 30 14:47:43 BST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux) every minute from my /tmp/cloud-print-connector log:
The associated entries in /var/log/cups/error_log have:
I do have my printer shared:
Brother_MFC-7340 (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Shared, Server Default)
And I have sharing enabled on my CUPS server too. Both "Share printers connected to this system" and "Allow printing from the Internet" are enabled.
Any ideas?
