Just reinstalled Arch, now I can't print anything.
In the webinterface cups says
"Unable to start filter "cupsomatic" - No such file or directory."
next to my printer, which is set up as I always does. I even looked in the wiki for answer, didn't make a difference.
Here's the log
tail /var/log/cups/error_log

I search for this "cupsomatic" thing in pacman - not there.
I installed foomatic, a2ps, gutenprint in the hope it would solve it, but it still doesn't work.
I hope someone has a glue what going on

I solved it.
After a quick install of Debian to get the pages printed, I returned to Arch.
I downloaded a newer ppd for my printer from linuxprinting.org and now cups' webui said:
"Unable to start filter "foomatic-rip" - No such file or directory."
next to the printer in the "manage printer"-page.
Ok, now this I knew how to fix.
pacman -S foomatic-db foomatic-db-engine foomatic-filters
Printing know works perfect.
The problem was, I think, that the old ppd had gotten to old... depending on old, no-longer-used filters.
What I/we can learn from this is to keep an eye on linuxprinting.org to get newer ppd's... Especially if something breaks...
Peace,
