I've been told pacman -Sd cups will do the trick;
it did
]]>I require samba
samba requires cups
cups requires ghostscript
ghostscript requires xfree86
therefore I require xfree86
Aha, so it's cups that wants me to install all this crap. I saw the output when I went to Su today, and had to do a double take before saying "no thank you."
Argh! I don't want xfree86!
Sentiment shared.

Hmm? Care to explain? I've never read him...
He's the guy who wrote "Alice in Wonderland" - but, most people don't know, he was a logician... he focused heavilly on logical arguments (if P then Q, not Q, therefore not P) but he liked to be real whimsical with his arguments... hell, read some of the conversation between the Mad Hatter and Alice, or the Cheshire Cat and Alice - it's all logical stuff... the technical term is "he likes valid arguments which are not sound" - meaning that while his argument may be perfect, the conclusion would be "if I am not a cat, then the sky is purple" which just isn't sound...

obviously there is some odd dependancy chain here...
samba-cups : understandable
cups-ghostscript : hmmm not too familiar with cups, but I guess it's understandable
ghostscript-'x-server' : hmmm this may not be needed. Seeing as ghostscript can be used solely for printing...
Argh! I don't want xfree86!
