    This document provides instructions for enabling printing capabilities in Manjaro Linux. It explains that CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) is used to manage printing. To enable printing, users must install the manjaro-printer package with pacman, which installs all required printer software. They then use systemctl to enable and start the CUPS service, which allows printing. The instructions also cover disabling CUPS if an alternative printing system is preferred.

    Overview
    Printing is undertaken through the use
    of CUPS (previously an acronym
    for Common Unix Printing System). This is a popular
    open source printing system used in most Linux
    distributions due to its ease of use. As stated by
    Wikipedia:

    'CUPS consists of a print spooler and


    scheduler, a filter system that converts
    the print data to a format that the printer
    will understand, and a backend system
    that sends this data to the print device.
    CUPS uses the Internet Printing
    Protocol (IPP) as the basis for
    managing print jobs and queues. '

    Several software packages must be installed in order to


    enable full and comprehensive printing capabilities on
    your system. Particularly to assist new users, it is
    possible in Manjaro to install everything that is required
    with just a single command. However, once the
    necessary software packages have been installed, it will
    then also be necessary to actually enable printing
    capabilities as well.

    Installing the Printer Software


    To just install the necessary software packages, enter the
    following command:

    sudo pacman -Sy manjaro-printer

    Note that you may need to add yourself to the sys


    group .

    sudo gpasswd -a yourusername sys

    Enabling Printing Capabilities


    Once the necessary software has been installed, to
    enable printing capabilities, enter the following command:

    sudo systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service

    Once printing has been enabled, in order to start doing so


    immediately without rebooting, input the command:

    sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service

    Disabling Printing Capabilities


    If for any reason you wish to disable CUPS (e.g. in order
    to use an alternative printing system), open your terminal
    and enter the following command:

    sudo systemctl disable org.cups.cupsd.service
