I am trying for the first time to add.
So I tried to follow up as on https://discovery.endeavouros.com/printers/printers/2021/03/
and
Add Printer
The printer is MF212w
Trying to add the printer (wireless and for wreless printing) I see only drivers for MF210.
Here is a summary of what I did til now:
[limo@asus ~]$ sudo pacman -S cups cups-filters cups-pdf system-config-printer --needed
