[SOLVED] Problem With Cups and Hp printer.
I am new to using cups. I usually have my operating system do everything for me. Arch seems to be a lot more tricky though.
I have an HP Deskjet 6980 printer. I have been able to successfully use it with Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora. I noticed that Arch came with HP Device Manager. This is the same program I used to add my printer to fedora. I decided to use this. During the process of adding my printer, it recognized it and when I pressed add printer, it said please restart CUPS and try again. I opened up system monitor and killed the cups process. I then tried to run the installer again and I got the same error. Then I tried to load up the cups interface on firefox but it failed to. I think I need to restart cups but I do not know how.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem With Cups and Hp printer.
I was successfully able to restart cups. Thankyou. However, I am still getting that error. Is there something I need to do in the cups interface?
Nevermind. I figured it out. My printer now works. Thanks for telling me how to restart cups.

Could you possibly post how you solved it so others reading this thread can benefit from it?
