cloudprint stop after upgrade to buster on Raspberry pi

[villeneuve]

Hello, I use cloudprint for several years and am happy with it. It runs on a Rasberry pi 2 with Raspbian lite I recently upgrade from stretch to buster and cloudprint is no longer working. Here is what I get with journalctl -u cloudprintd

I search the web and found that it seems to be a package "requests" missing but since the recommended solution is to go with the debian (raspbian?) packaged cloudprint version and this is what I'm supposed to have I'm a bit lost. Any help guidance will be appreciated Thanks

[SOLVED] Sorry for the noise, but found the solution: apt install python3-requests As suggested by apt I also did apt install python3-openssl python3-socks I don't know if it was needed by cloudprint. Then cloudprint automatiaclly restarted (as it tries every 5mn) I believe my problem was because I upgraded from stretch to buster (not a clean install from scratch) I had requests installed in Python2 but not in Python3.

Thanks for cloudprint it's a very useful service

Oooops sorry I saw your answer after posting! Anyway yes requests missing.
