I'm using cups correctly? First time trying to use printer?
I installed cups-1:2.3.3op2-1 using pacman and it says is up to date,but when I try to enable service org.cups.cupsd.service I get the following message.
[a@archPC ~]$ sudo systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service
Failed to enable unit: Unit file org.cups.cupsd.service does not exist.so I tried to use this (I think is outdated?))
[a@archPC ~]$ sudo systemctl enable cups and this works , I get the usual output that it works.
should I be worried about not using the first option? Maybe should I try to get the the first one? I read somewhere that using org.cups.cupsd.service is better because cups.service is outdated .
Note:
currently I'm using XFCE desktop enviroment and I have noticed that there is no
priter settings anywhere. Is cups In charge of adding one? I'm thinking about
changing my desktop environment because of this reason.
thank you all.

Re: I'm using cups correctly? First time trying to use printer?
Because there is no org.cups.cupsd service. The name of the service is cups, so the latter code is the proper one. This is also what the wiki says about enabling cups.
The service was called org.cups.cupsd some time ago, but that is no longer true.
