Disable Cloud Print Sharing

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Chromium has cloud sharing capabilities including sharing printers connected to the system. This is done via a proxy. To disable printer sharing, set CloudPrintProxyEnabled to false in the Chromium policy file.

Rationale

Google Chromium has the capability to act as a proxy between Google Cloud Print and legacy printers connected to the machine. Users can then enable the cloud print proxy by authentication with their Google account.
