Printer Install, Simple and successful! Brother HL-3170CDW Network printer

[cscs]

@namitutonka

system-config-printer

Is only a gtk application for configuration and a status icon.
Its nice for some - but not required if you are going to manually configure the printer as you do in the final steps.

@namitutonka

sudo systemctl

sudo is not required here.

@namitutonka

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.path

You should enable the socket only.

@namitutonka

pamac install avahi

avahi is a dependency of of cups which is a dependency of manjaro-printer.

@namitutonka

lpadmin -p HL-3170CDW

lpadmin -p HL-3170CDW -E -v ipp://192.168.1.4/ipp/print -m everywhere

[…]

I think the single command “lpadmin -p HL-3170CDW” may have been unnecesary.

Correct.

Revised steps (also using pacman because it is more reliable);

sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-printer system-config-printer
systemctl enable --now cups.socket
systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon.service
lpadmin -p $PRINTER_NAME -E -v ipp://$PRINTER_IP_ADDRESS/ipp/print -m everywhere
