OK, Thanks for the new details. My issue appears to be the fact that Canon isn't even listed in the graphical interface of Printers, and

Code: [Select]
lpinfo -m
also confirms this, viz:

DYMO
Epson
Fuji Xerox
Generic
HP
Index
Intellitech
Oki
Raw
Ricoh

Hi, after I edited pacman conf file I am still getting this error message (ref my Soundblaster post):

error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch could not be read: No such file or directory

I have the complete 'cnijfilter2-master' which includes the ppd for the TS8000 series but KDE Printers refuses to accept it. I still think it is partly an issue that the manufacturer Canon is not present in Printers unlike all other versions of KDE I have used on other distributions like FerenOS and Devuan 3.1.1

As of June 2021, all Arch repositories are disabled by default. To enable them, install artix-archlinux-support and follow the on-screen instructions to activate the Arch repositories you want, most likely extra, community and multilib, which contain packages not yet in Artix repositories. Do not enable community alone as it contains packages dependent on others in extra.

What to do if I have a problem:
First go through wiki.archlinux.org and wiki.artixlinux.org and use the relevant parts (all except the systemd commands on the archlinux wiki) to set up your system really correctly.
Look at the internet to see if anyone has had a similar error (at least 90% of problems have already been solved on the internet before you) - often a question of 5 minutes before solving it here for days and peoples here will look at the internet anyway :-)
Follow the announcements on the main page at artixlinux / archlinux too

Hi strajder,
Thank you for your time in responding to me. I am clearly doing something wrong. When I try to install 'artix-archlinux-support' I get:

Code: [Select]
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch could not be read: No such file or directory

I was thinking that I might be better installing the minimal version of Artix and work my way up from that, adding KDE later.

That error message means exactly what it says: you don't have the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch.

To repeat what I quoted above, you need to install the package artix-archlinux-support and follow the on-screen instructions to activate the Arch repositories. The file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch is a part of the archlinux-mirrorlist package, which the artix-archlinux-support package depends on, so it will automatically be installed with it.

This is as plainly said as it can be, really.

So to install do I use pacman -S ...
That is what I have been doing ...

That is only the first part. The second part is editing /etc/pacman.conf to include the arch repositories in the correct order, after the artix repositories, as described in the wiki page that I linked. If you installed archlinux-mirrorlist however (a dependency of artix-archlinux-support), the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch should exist.

Code: [Select]
ls -l /etc/pacman.d    # this should return mirrorlist-arch among other files
pacman -Qi artix-archlinux-support archlinux-mirrorlist      # this should give package details instead of error messages
