[SOLVED] Printer dialogue empty after update

I did a system update a while ago (didn't have time to post earlier) and now the printing dialogue in X is empty except for "Print to file". For example if I press CTRL+P in Firefox.
I checked whether cups was running and it is not. What's the correct way to enable it? 'systemctl enable' only suggests "cups-browsed.services" which sounds wrong?

Re: [SOLVED] Printer dialogue empty after update

There was a thread maybe one or two weeks ago about the systemd changes in cups2.0
Try "systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd"

Thanks that worked. I actually checked the news on archlinux.org before I asked, but it didn't mention anything.

No news, but pacman told you about it when cups was updated.
