With help from @linux4all and @A4orce84 , I simply entered the following terminal commands:
sudo pacman -S system-config-printer
pamac install manjaro-printer
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.path
pamac install avahi
sudo systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon.service
lpadmin -p HL-3170CDW
lpadmin -p HL-3170CDW -E -v ipp://192.168.1.4/ipp/print -m everywhere
My printer is listed as: HL-3170CDW, Model HL-3170CDW series - IPP Everywhere
Print options include printing in Grayscale or Color, plus doulble-sided printing.
I think the single command “lpadmin -p HL-3170CDW” may have been unnecesary.
192.168.1.4 is the LAN ip of my printer.

Thanks for trying to help, but see all below after doing what you told me to do it just made no difference at all.
