Some, but not all, applications are not finding a CUPS managed printer. E.g.
LibreOffice
Thunderbird
Seamonkey
list the printer and can access it with no problem.
On the other hand, invoking printing in
Firefox
Evince
RStudio
does not the show printer as an option (the only option is 'print to file').
Configuration, relevant packages:
linux 4.7.6-1
openbox
cups
cups-filter
cups-pdf
org.cups.cupsd.service is enabled and has status 'active(running)'.
Note that there is no desktop environment, just openbox
The printer (there's only one) is connected by usb.
I configured the printer using the CUPS server, which detected it and found the correct driver. I have not edited any configuration files.
Any idea how to fix this?
thanks

Sounds like you didn't pay attention to the new optional dep for gtk3.

I saw that, but didn't think it was relevant, since I'm not using gnome. Why would that effect Firefox? It doesn't seem to matter to Thunderbird.

Look at the dep list of both?

Good idea. Both Thunderbird and Firefox depend on gtk2. Firefox (but not Thunderbird) depends on gtk3. I would not have expected these dependencies.

Installing gtk3-print-backends solves the problem for Firefox and evince, but not for RStudio, which does not depend on gtk3. Hmmm.

Why not?? Mozilla ("somehow") uses gtk ever since.
For rstudio, you'll have to record which package from AUR you actually picked (or whether you installed it from a different source)
