I wanted to add my printer on Manjaro (Gnome) and the settings app finds my network printer. However, when I want to add the printer the setup failes with the prompt “Failed to add printer”.
I followed all steps from the official Manjaro wiki about printing and on my Manjaro (Gnome) installation on a different pc everything works fine. I can remove and then add the printer again without problems.
Thanks for clarification about pasting links. I edited op.
From PC where printer is working:
scheduler is running

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
In Gnome I couldn’t find a similar setting you were referring to.
I installed KDE alongside Gnome but for some reason no printing settings module was installed although I closely followed the instructions (https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Install_Desktop_Environments#KDE_Plasma_5) and I couldn’t find any package which would deliver the print settings.
here a screenshot of the gnome settings. If I click on “Add printer” a new window opens and it searches for available network printers but there are no further options:
I will try it with a live usb and if I can add the printer there. Maybe it’s some misconfiguration somewhere deep down. In that case… probably reinstall…
