Don't expect it to be anything like Ubuntu in any way whatsoever.

From that what I see driver 'xes' is included in ghostscript package so you should read this article:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS
and look at this package:

Beginner guide + wiki + forums will solve pretty much all of your problems. Use them a lot.
