Cannot connect to google cloud print

We recently bought a MF8580cdw and installed it wireless, very easy.  Scanner works great.  We are mostly Mac but I want to use my Chrome book to print.  When I try to enable Google print in the remote UI and hit Register I get message "Failed to acquire information for registration".  I see in the enable area Install CA Certificate.  When I check CA certificates there appears to be 5 pre installed.  I have checked the e-manual and don't find this error listed.  Checked on line and didn't seem to get a good hit.  
Update 24 hrs later.  I Found that the SSL connection check box was not checked.  After checking this the printer registered fine and it is now printing from my Chrome Book.  I did not see any reference to make sure that SSL was enabled.  sSmple fix but hard to find.

This may or may not help some, but should help others...
I was able to register cloud print successfully last week, then today it presented an error that it couldn't connect to the server.  After de-registering and then re-registering, I received the "failed to acquire information for registration" error.
After quite a few failures, I thought the outbound IP filters I set up may have been the issue, so I disabled it.  After a few more failures, I decided to power cycle the printer (switch off, wait until all lights shut off, switch on), and this allowed for the weblink to be generated in order to register the printer with cloud print.
It should also be mentioned SSL needs to be set and generated for the printer (Admin login - Network Settings - TCP/IP Settings - SSL Settings).  I assume this is so that all information sent to the printer while printing over the internet is encrypted with SSL.
Steps
1. De-register cloud print if previously registered.
2. Turn off, then back on, Cloud Print via the Remote UI (Login as Admin, navigate to Network Settings - Cloud Print Settings)
3. Navigate to Network Settings - TCP/IP Settings - SSL Settngs and register the SSL cert for the MF8280cw (if not already done)
4. Power Cycle Printer via the On/Off Switch
5. Log into Remote UI as Admin
6. Navigate to Network Settings - Cloud Print Settings and attempt registration again
If that fails, and you have IP Filtering for IPv4 on (IPv6 should be on and set to reject, unless you utilize IPv6 in your network; this is for security reasons), set it to off temporarily, power cycle printer, and attempt registration again.
Please be aware, this is not a problem on Google's end and is an issue with the settings on the printer.  If you can't find the setting causing the issue, and/or business support cannot help you narrow down the issue, backup your settings via the Remote UI (both for the printer, as well as information from the Address Book), and reset the printer settings to factory default.  This will solve the issue, albeit you will have to manually figure out afterwards, through trial and error, what setting it was that caused the issue since restoring your printer settings is likely to cause the issue to re-occur until you narrow down the problem setting(s).

    Thanks Happy. I ended up getting on the phone with HP Support and came to the same conclusion. We were not able to make the hpeprint --> Google cloud print to work...everything looks good on the hpeprint side... Tech said I needed to talk to Google and see what they say.

  • Connect your classic printers with Google Cloud Print like in chrome

    be able to do this or similar in firefox
    If your printer is Cloud Ready, follow your manufacturer's provided instructions or see setting up your Cloud Ready printer.
    To connect your classic printer, enable the Google Cloud Print connector on any (non-Chrome OS) computer that is already connected to your printer and able to print. You'll need Google Chrome to be installed on the computer. If you're using Windows XP, make sure you also have the Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed.
    Once Google Chrome is installed, follow the steps below to enable the Google Cloud Print connector in Google Chrome.
    Log in to your user account on the Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.
    Open Google Chrome.
    Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
    Select Settings.
    Click the Show advanced settings link.
    Scroll down to the “Google Cloud Print” section. Click Manage.
    The next screen will show a list of devices already registered with Google Cloud Print, and new devices available on the network.
    In the "Classic printers" section, click Add printers.
    You'll see a confirmation that Google Cloud Print has been enabled. Click Manage your printers to learn more.
    The printer is now associated with your Google Account and connected to Google Cloud Print. You can print to this printer using Google Cloud Print whenever you’re signed in with the same Google Account.

    On your Windows PC?
    Does Google Cloud Print create a Windows printer device? If so, it should appear in the drop-down of available printers in the Print dialog. If not, you may need an add-on for this.
    On your Android device?
    The older add-on I saw (for Firefox/Android) may not work any more: recent reviews are very negative: https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/cloud-printer/

    Hello dabbourb,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are able to print from your desktop to your Photosmart D110a printer but not your Chromebook.
    I am presuming that you have already connected your printer to your wireless network.  If you haven’t please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document.  Please click on the operating system of your desktop and follow the steps in the order presented.
    When the printer is connected to your wireless network, we need to setup the ePrint feature of the printer before connecting it to Google Cloud Print.  To start please Get the Printer Claim Code.  Once you have the web services information sheet, please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    Now let’s connect the printer with Google Cloud Print.  I have included the Setting Up and Using Your HP ePrint-Capable Printer with a Chromebook document.  I’ve also included Google’s document for setting up Cloud-Ready Printers.  Once you have the printer connected to Google Cloud Print please follow the steps in Google’s Print a page document to start printing.

  • Google Cloud Print not possible to connect with HP Printer

    Hello,
    I want to connect my Officejet 8600 printer with Google Cloud Print.
    I write my [email protected] adress (without @hpeprint.com) in the field and enter, I got always the error message:
    "Could not get printer information from HP."
    Is there a Server Problem or is the problem, that HP changed from eprintcenter to hpconnected.com?
    Can someone help me?
    Regards
    Oli

     @Zephyr-750 
    Depending on which Officejet 8600 you have will depend on which Google Cloud Print path you will use.  If you have the Officejet 8600 e-all in one then you will need to register it as an ePrint printer with your HP Connected account, take that ePrint address and register it with your Google Cloud Print account.
    If you have an older Office jet 8600, then  you will need to register it as a classic print, directly with the Google Cloud.
    Please see this support document for more information.
    As for your question regarding ePrint center and HP Connected. If you are located in the: United States, United Kingdom, France or Germany - you should be using HP Connected. If you are located in another other country - you should be using ePrint center.

  • Google cloud print for officejet pro 8600 - could not get printer information from hp.

    I just purchased a new OfficeJet Pro 8600 today. Everything seems to work great except for the connector to Google Cloud Print. I can print from AirPrint, as well as emails to the hpeprint.com address, but when I try to register via the google site, I receive the "could not get printer information from HP" error message.
    The printer is connected via wireless ethernet, and seems to work find otherwise. I have no restrictions on who can send print jobs, and I have changed the email address for hpeprint.com a few times, as suggested in other forum threads, but it can never connect to the the Cloud Print service. I am at the latest firmware level listed on the HP website. I have tried to initiate the connection from multiple PC's as well as multiple web browsers.
    This was a big factor in purchasing this printer. Help anyone?

    Hey rch33k, I am sorry for the ongoing issue that you are having accessing Google Cloud Print. This is being looked into as this is not a singular issue and is affecting other customers as well.  Engineers are currently investing this problem to try and provide a solution to it.  I want to again apologize and thank you all for your patience in this matter.  They only other thing to attempt at this time is to contact Google for further assistance to see if anything can be done on their end. Hopefully this will be fixed quickly

  • Google cloud print "could not get printer information from hp"

    As of today google cloud print has stopped working with my laser jet pro. I started getting an error message that "hp eprint is unavailable at this time". I decided to remove my hp printer from google cloud print. I haven't been able to add it back in since. Every time I try to verify the printer with google cloud print I get the error message "could not get printer information from hp". Everything seems to be configured properly as far as I can tell. I even removed the printer from hp connected and readded the printer and have changed my printers email address. Help please! I am on Chrome OS and this is the only option I have to print.  

    The issue just kind of resolved itself today and I was able to add the printer. I'm assuming it was some kind of server issue on hp's end because I haven't changed anything since yesterday. 

  • Google Cloud Print setup - Unable to parse printer capabilities

    I'm trying to add my CP1525nw to Google Cloud Print as a Cloud printer, and not as a LOCAL printer, however each time I add my eprint email I get the following message; "Unable to parse printer capabilities"  - I've attempted both private and public use for eprint settings with no such luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've tried reseting the email with no luck...
    EDIT - 04/01/11:
    I chatted with HP support and although the representative was extremely curteous, they could not help me.  The support agent assured me the issue would be taken to the next level and looked at so hopefully we can have a resolution here shortly.
    EDIT - 04/04/11:
    Received a response from the original HP rep I chatted with online.  In summary, he/she was not able to find a solution and states the issue will be sent up to HP's highest level of technical support....  We shall see.
    EDIT - 05/25/11:
    After 2 months of waiting, HP has fixed the issue.  Remember to update to the latest firmware and check all settings before proceeding.

    well, when I use google chrome to set up cloud print, it does add my HP1525nw to my google cloud print, but ONLY THE LOCAL printer. In other words, google cloud print can add both local printers and cloud enabled printers. It does add the local printers, and since while on my home network, the HP laser is a local printer, it grabs that. But it still won't allow me to add it as a cloud printer.
    The problem with being connected as a local printer is that my notebook has to be on and it has to be on my local network in order for me to print to the printer through the cloud (like using my ipod).
    The point of the HP printer being added as a direct cloud printer is so it can be printed to as a stand alone printer, even if my local computer is not on, because it is connected to my router wirelessly and not dependent on any local computer.
    and that is where it is failing. Trying to add the printer as a CLOUD printer does not work (the same problem everyone else here is having)

  • My HP deskjet ink advantage 1515 should be connected to google cloud

    how to connect my HP DeskJet 1515 Ink Advantage printer to google cloud ?

    Hello PavikuttyPC,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Regaridng the setup for the Deskjet 1515 for Google Cloud Print, it can only be done one way, and that is USB connection to another computer with the 1515 software installed.
    To learn more, check out this Google guide: Connect your classic printers with Google Cloud Print
    If the printer was wireless and had ePrint, the setup would be simpler and more user friendly. I hope this helps you get printing.

    @Elliot_Labs ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

I can see the ones I have sent to the hp server using the printer email address but they do not print. I also have selected them and tried to print them from the server but they don't get through to the printer.

    Hello bennetg,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see you are trying to print via ePrint and Google Cloud Print, but the printer never gets this command to do so. You are able to see the jobs in HPConnected and have verified the Email address. What is the error / statement on the print job in HPConnected?
    Typically, when an ePrint job doesn't send to the printer, the printer is in an error state. An error state could be out of paper, out put tray is closed, all the way up to paper jam.
    What is the model of printer you are attempting to use ePrint with?
    You can also go through these suggested steps in an attempt to clear this issue up: The HP ePrint Print Job Did Not Print.
    Look forward to hearing back.

  • Printer hijacked (Google Cloud Print)

    Somebody else has somehow registered my printer in Google Cloud Print. I received a Google Cloud Print test page and a printout from them. I logged into my ePrintCenter account, changed my password.  I then tried to change my ePrint settings. There are other email addresses in the list so I removed them and saved my changes. However, when I sign out and sign back in, the addresses reappear.I tried to remove/add my printer but that has no effect. I am also unable to register my printer with Google Cloud Print. It says my printer is already registered (which is something I never did). My printer also does not show up under my printer list in Google Cloud Print
    Any suggestions?

    Hi j_to_the_m,
    Thank you for being a member of the HP Support community.  I understand that another person has accidentally claimed your printer using Google’s Cloud Print. Google Cloud Print is a function of Google, and is generally supported by Google.  I’ve included the link to Google Cloud Print Support, which is a FAQ page.
    You will need to contact the other person (in a previous post you indicated that you knew their email) and ask them to delete the printer from Google Cloud Print.  Once they have deleted it from their Google Cloud Print you should have no problems adding it to your Google Cloud Print. If you are unsure how to add it please following the steps in the Google Cloud Print’s FAQ Section titled “Basic Information” and then item 3 “How do I connect my printer to Google Cloud Print?”.

  • Print using google cloud print

    I try to print using Google Cloud Print (Gmail etc...
    I am connected at Chrome but that doesn't work.
    I see the name of the printer with a message mean : currently offline (Actuellement hors connexion)
    What does it mean ?
    The printer is on and connected to my wi-fi network
    I do it with success sometimes but this problem return after turn-off, turnd-on the printer.
    That seems not be easy to use Google Cloud Print with Ipad
    Thank you for your help
    (sorry for my bad English ;-)

    try power cycling the printer, your device and router - don't forget to quit out of the apps on the device - double tap home - hold finger down on any app on the grey bar that pops up until a red minus symbol appears and then tap the red minus symbol to close them out
    if that doesn't work and it happened after power cycling the printer - you may have to re-setup your printer - check out airprint basics on the apple support page

    Hello @burnsdl ,
    Welcome to the HP forum.
    I understand that you are wondering if your Officejet 5740 is compatible with Google Cloud Print.
    I would like to help you with this.
    According to the printers specifications, the 5740 is USB only.
    Normally this means that the answer is no, the 5740 will not work with Google Cloud Print.
    You would need a wireless printer that has the web services feature.
    There is a work around.
    Connect your classic printers with Google Cloud Print
    This will allow you to connect a non cloud ready printers to Google Cloud Print.

    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I understand that you would like to connect your Chromebook to your Officejet 4500 wireless.
    Let's get the printer onto your wireless network.  This can be easily done from the front panel. The instructions can be found in your user guide on page 201 in the section titled "To set up wireless communication using the device control panel with wireless setup wizard".
    Now we need to setup the printer with Google Cloud print. I have included a document on how to this here. Please follow the instructions for in the section titled "HP classic printers (non e-print enabled)". 
    For additional reference I have also included the support page from Google for adding a Classic printer here.
    You should now be able to print from your Chromebook.  If you are not sure how to print using the Chromebook please click here for the instructions on how to print from Chrome.
