Hello,
I had my USB-connected Brother HL-2280dw printer/scanner fully functional using AUR package brother-hl2280dw for the printing aspect. After some -Syu (I assume; I don't print much), the printing function stopped working. Scanning still works. I was getting an "Unable to find printer" error. I thought that deleting and reinstalling the may work; I deleted the printer and now CUPS can't find it. I've also reinstalled cups and libcups.
-I can see it under lsusb and dmesg.
-I've reinstalling the hl-2280dw, installed hl-2270dw and hplip with no change.
-I have a2ps installed.
-Scanning still works.
-printer works under Ubuntu.
As far as I can understand, if the scanner works, and the connection is listed under lsusb and dmesg, CUPS should be able to see it. I'm not sure what the next trouble-shooting step is.
Thanks,
Kale

you have to stop cupsd.seervice via systemd (like on the wiki) and then enable org.cups.cupsd.service .

You really should read pacman's output. Go back and read your log: it tells you exactly what you need to do...

Did this work for the OP? I have the same problem, however, I grepped my pacman log file for cups and nothing came up. I think this might be because I've been ignoring the problem for so long that the references to a solution are no longer in the cups file. Newbie errors...
I tried tuxador's solution (assuming he meant cupsd.service) with no luck.

Cups service is not longer named cupsd.service but org.cups.cupsd.service.

Thanks, firekage. I ran the same command and got the same thing (with a variant at Main PID and two lines following that seem ordinary). I'm guessing this means I need to search elsewhere for my solution?

Oh god. I just realized that I'm the OP.
So, to answer my own question, no, that didn't work for me.
