Hi,
I want to install xfce minimal, to well keep bloat to a minimum. Openbox is lighter but doesn’t have basic functions like volume on statusbar/easy desktop icons/taskbar etc. Cinnamon etc. too heavy for old pc in mind.
I"m testing on live usb before install and can see the only thing missing which I need seems to be printer support.
Tried following this manjaro guide but it fails as below.
h ttps://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Printing
Any ideas how to resolve fail to commit issue?
Thanks in advance,
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ pamac install manjaro-printer

ps. Is it possible for installer to allow options of what apps/support user wants installed, with default choices for minimal/full? This would remove need for 2 different iso’s for each DE download?
pps. isn’t system-config-printer necessary to manage print queue etc.? Not sure why this is optional on xfce?
