Moreover, as said, some companies do, make it hard to use their own printer by their own proprietary driver that needs to be installed usually targeted only for Windows OS. For me, Manjaro is already user friendly to manage printer you can manage printer by GUI in addition to localhost:631.

Regarding how user friendliness, itвЂ™s up to the distro if they integrate CUPS to the desktop environment or not (like having CUPS installed by default and the interface to CUPS is provided in вЂњsettingsвЂќ or some sort rather than by localhost:631). You should be able to install a specific version of a package using apt-get install Remove the printer-driver-gutenprint package using apt-get remove printer-driver-gutenprint and then re-add the required version using apt-get install printer-driver-gutenprint5.2.

As long as any printer manufacturers support CUPS, you can use that printer in any GNU/Linux distro by installing CUPS printer server at that distro. and you may have to see instructions specific to epson.ДЄs said, you can use CUPS web interface to manage your connected printers as long as your printers support CUPS architecture.ДЄlso, as said, several printer companies, like HP, have provided its printer products a support for CUPS. I am not sure how it is licenced in USA (I have been in anti-patent protest that with help of Polish representants saved EU from USA-like software patents)

I find that Brother printers sometimes need Foomatic make sure you get the nonfree version (Brother isnt as opensource friendly as HP on printers). If your printer is USB then plug it in and it will set itself up, if its a network printer then localhost:631 would work. Just install guttenprint (cups will get pulled up) sudo pacman -Sy hplip gutenprintДont forget to enable printing services: sudo systemctl enable -now rvice I find it suprising For the HP not to work in cups, They are quite good with support for cups often coming before Windows drivers during development as it is then used on MAC and even used towards Android developementвЂ¦ If you install hpcups (hplip), gutenprint then you can generally get any HP printer working in order of Precedence: gutenprint (I find it tends to work better then HPcups), hpcups, then cups itself.
