support for CloudPrint

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I realize Google Cloud Print is not in the list of supported APIs, but I was 
wondering if it is because the API isn't OAuth2 compatible yet (the 
documentation says it is) or if it's because I don't set the right scope (how 
do you get a list of the available scopes?).

Thanks

Hi Matt

It doesn't look like the Cloud Print API was built on the API infrastructure 
that this client requires — this client needs a special discovery document, 
and as far as I can tell, the Cloud Print API doesn't have one. This is 
probably at least partly because it's not strictly a REST API. From a quick 
glance at the documentation, it seems like they're doing some kind of REST/XMPP 
hybrid.

The OAuth 2 scope is "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloudprint".

Thanks, I ended up doing it manually and using the provided scope, everything 
went well.

Cool, glad to hear it. If you don't mind my asking, what are you building?

I'm creating an app that can print to remote locations so you can print 
something in the DC location from San Diego.

Neat! Now if only we could print to the printer in the 
doctor/lawyer/accountant's office, we might finally be able to stop using those 
awful fax machines.
