How to install

Install both packages using "makepkg -si". Install cups package and enable and start cups.service Then to connect to your printer through network you need to setup hostname resolution with Avahi:

  • Install the Avahi package
  • Install the nss-mdns package
  • Enable and start avahi-daemon.service
  • Install cups package
  • Enable and start cups.service and cups.socket
  • Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the hosts line to: hosts: ... mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve ...
  • Open UDP port 5353 if you use a firewall
  • Run avahi-discover in a terminal and you should see your printer
  • With avahi-discover opened, head to localhost:631, go to Administration page and connect as root user then select "Add Printer" and configure your printer either via usb or select your printer in "Discovered Network Printers"
