There is no Printer listed in the Control Center or in The Main Menu. I installed hplip with the terminal, but I don't know what else I should do now. Any help would sure be appreciated, thanks.
Bonjour,
If you have OpenRC, try this :
sudo pacman -S cups-openrc gutenprint
sudo rc-update add cupsd
And add you to cups group :
sudo groupadd cups
sudo usermod -a -G cups user
sudo reboot
and will you tell us the sweet secret of how and which printer you install, or should we - as usual - use our oracle balls?
and you should read this mandatory too 8) https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html
Thank you
"sudo groupadd cups"
why create a group "cups"? If he need admin printer, he need group "sys" or "wheel" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_groups#Group_list
He need not gutenprint, if he install hplip (evidently a HP printer). and fuse is not necessary too, printers today use USB directly (if not 30 years old printer).
My HP printer under openrc workks very well, imho without cups group:
[alium@picasso ~]$ groups
http games dbus ntp network scanner power users video storage lp disk optical audio wheel
install printer is more easier
pacman -S cups-openrc
rc-update add cupsd
rc-service cupsd start
hp-setup (if he use hplip)
if permission problem, add user to sys or wheel sudo usermod -a -G sys user
The printer I'm trying to install is a hp:/net/HP_Color_LaserJet_Pro_M252dw. This came from my Mint 19.3 Mate partition. The computer is an Intel NUC using runit instead of OpenRC. Hlip-1.3.20.9-2 is up to date. This did add an Other to my main menu with
"hp-uiscan" that does nothing when clicked. I sent the 4 links to paste.artixlinux.org last month when you helped me with [SOLVED]USBAudo Device. Do you think I should just reinstall with OpenRC?
so install cups-runit instead cups-openrc
https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Runit#Basic_usage <-- how add and start cups (runit service) under runit
install first driver of your printer via hp-setup (or web interface)
Bonjour,
I recently had a problem with Canon ip3000 printer jerky printing: after creating the cups group and adding the user to that group, the issue was resolved.
I also saw on this forum that the creation of the cups group was recommended:

Ok, I note. Thank you.
Indeed. And a saving of 33MB ...
I suspected it by copying my notes, but since I was not sure, I told myself that it would not interfere.
Oops, sorry for the slip (lapsus linguae). :-[
My Canon ip3000, no.
Or did the problem come from elsewhere? ...
Thanks for correcting!
For canon Pixma 3000 Canon has not released a proprietary iP3000 Driver. You must install and use gutenprint . That is reason, why i never bought canon -> because Canon provides no linux support (how is actually situation i dont know).
It is a printer that I inherited...
For the reasons you mention, I don't buy Canon equipment either. >:(
In my reply to 2jcm, I had copied and pasted my procedure for Canon and forgot to remove "gutenprint". :-[
