lpinfo -m does not list any drivers / unable to print & add a printer

I'm unable to print and even add a printer via the cups web interface. Strange thing, I had no problems until last week... big upgrades, including kernel, but I don't know what is causing the problem. I thought that my printer (HP PSC 1500) may have died, but I remembered the lp tools. This is the output of lpinfo -m (or lpinfo -m -h 127.0.0.1:631)

$ lpinfo -m
lpinfo: Success

So, no printer drivers are recognized. And I do have:

pacman -Q cups libcups hplip ghostscript gsfonts gutenprint 
cups 2.0.3-1
libcups 2.0.3-1
hplip 3.15.6-1
ghostscript 9.16-1
gsfonts 20150122-1
gutenprint 5.2.10-1

Suggestions?
