Config file ptr.conf generated for proxy NAME

• This makes a file called name.conf in your current directory

mkdir /etc/cloudprint
cp ptr.conf /etc/cloudprint/Service State

/opt/google/chrome/chrome --type=service --enable-cloud-print-proxy --no-service-autorun --noerrdialogs --user-data-dir=/etc/cloudprint/

This starts the cloudprint service if you go to the Cloud Print Control Panel as user user@domain.com you should see the printers from your local cups server. This command will not return the terminal so we will need to add a script for that.
