You need to install and start CUPS daemon, install hplip package (and probably hplip-plugin from AUR). After that you can use CUPS web interface or system-config-printer to configure your pinter

use directly  hplip installator:

Code: [Select]

hp-setup

or try use http://localhost:631/ (CUPS) it's more convenient :-)

Code: [Select]

rc-service avahi-daemon status

avahi is running? avahi must run!

and what say /var/log/cups/error_log?

Code: [Select]

cat /var/log/cups/error_log

Code: [Select]

pacman -S avahi avahi-openrc

Code: [Select]

rc-service avahi-daemon start

if start without problems:

Code: [Select]

rc-update add avahi-daemon default

you should start cupsd too:

Code: [Select]

rc-update add cupsd default

after reboot will be start automatically

no he is started before, so avahi is running = Daemon already running on PID 3592

so try it now install again.. cupsd is running too?

are you member of cups and lp group?

I'm NOT member of cups group.
I'm member of lp group.

Code: [Select]

pacman -S avahi avahi-openrc

OK

Code: [Select]

rc-service avahi-daemon start

OK

if start without problems:

Code: [Select]

rc-update add avahi-daemon default

OK

you should start cupsd too:

Code: [Select]

rc-update add cupsd default

******** NOT  OK
      I have this error:   rc-update: service `cupsd' does not exist

after reboot will be start automatically

have you tried adding a printer through that web interface?

Code: [Select]

http://localhost:631/

I work about it...
 and:

1.
cat /var/log/cups/error_log
have now this:
E [11/May/2020:22:33:28 +0200] Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Address already in use.
E [11/May/2020:22:33:28 +0200] Unable to open listen socket for address 127.0.0.1:631 - Address already in use.
E [11/May/2020:23:03:21 +0200] Unable to remove /run/cups/certs/0!
E [11/May/2020:23:03:21 +0200] Unable to finalize "/var/cache/cups/job.cache": No such file or directory

2. I add myself at cups group

3.I try use now hp-setup with the same result:
error: No PPD found for model deskjet_1510 using old algorithm.
error: No appropriate print PPD file found for model deskjet_1510_series

seems, that cups is not started, or is wrong configured.

please give here output from terminal with command:

Code: [Select]

rc-service cupsd restart -v

should be similar as mine:

Code: [Select]

[picasso pkg]# rc-service cupsd restart -v

have you no cups-openrc installed???  :o  :o

Code: [Select]

pacman -S cups  cups-openrc   

CUPS is installed !

 this is the result of " pacman -Qs cups"

local/cups 2.3.3-1
    The CUPS Printing System - daemon package
local/cups-filters 1.27.4-1
    OpenPrinting CUPS Filters
local/libcups 2.3.3-1
    The CUPS Printing System - client libraries and headers

Yes, is installed, but is not installed cups service and cups can't start. Just install cups-openrc, and start it.

So, your cups is NOT really properly installed.

To conclude, congratulations on the project, Artix runs well on my old PC over 15 years ago, and everything is very responsive and also pleasant to see (MATE).

I find kernels with the CK patchset to offer great desktop responsiveness in low RAM / disk-thrashing situations / old hardware.

maybe he can instal linux-zen

Code: [Select]

pacman -S linux-zen

Hi alium! I read something, I seem to understand that it is an alternative Kernel ... I would not want to break something by installing it. I know that touching the kernel is a very delicate thing, and I am not an expert to remedy ... If I install it I can go back easily, if something goes wrong? TKS in advance for the reply.

pacman -S linux-zen

Possibly run pacman -Syu to update your system first, the current version in the repos is *13* not *11* so the old version wouldn't be found.

TKS #######, it's ok. Now I try to reboot and choose the new one kernel.
