This is straight cups stuff.
"Pacman -Sy enscript"  if you do not have it
open a browser
type in "http://localhost:631"
Cups setup should comeup
Select "manage printer"
Select  "add printer"
Follow the instuctions it is pretty straight forward
After your printer is set up, select manage printer again, and you can try printing a test page.
If you need more help just ask.

Ps when the login comes up enter "root" and the password is
what ever your root password is.
