Hi
I'm in a struggle to get my printer working. I'm using Arch 64bit and Lexmark releases 32bit drivers, which kinda sucks. The printer shows up when I execute lsusb, but the installer just keeps asking me to plug in the printer, when in fact, the printer is already plugged in. I used to be a Fedora user, and installing 32bit versions of cups, libcups and libusb did the trick and it printed like a charm, in Arch though, is becoming a pain in the neck.
I've read the wiki page about Lexmark, it wasn't of much help. Having usblp loaded on boot or not makes no difference. When I try to install the 32bit versions of cups, libcups and libusb, pacman says "error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid) :: package libcups-1.4.6-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture".
I'm enjoying Arch a lot, and I don't want to switch back to Fedora. Any help would be much appreciated.

No thoughts on this? I know I'm annoying, but please, help if you can.
EDIT:
I think I got the printer installed, I've installed the cups-usblp package from aur. Running the installer, when it asked to connect my printer and I do so, it said there was no printer connected, but at the same time a dialogue informed me that the printer was being setted up and then that it was ready to print. The problem is it doesn't actually print, cups gives me an error message and gave the following output:

Damn, I'm going back to Fedora. As much as I like Arch, I want to fully take advantage of the computer and the printer is essential for me. I've tried everything imaginable and nothing worked. I know, it's probably not Arch's fault, I hope someday I can get to use it again.
