Hi all,
i installed EOS more then once. Most with XFCE.
But this time i have the problem, that i can’t found “printer” in the XFCE-Settings.
I have a brother DCP-9022CDW. Last time i just installed the printer-package for this printer from AUR with “yay”, went to “XFCE-Settings” and “printer” and just installed the printer. That was it!
This time i have a new EOS-Installation with XFCE, installed again the printer-package, but i can’t found “printer” in the XFCE-Settings.
Can someone tell me, what packages are required?
Thank you.
I am sorry, i forgot to use the eos-docs first. I promise to read there next time.
I install all the missing packages and set the services. “printer-settings” are not in the xfce-settings yet, but i found it in the system-entry in whisker-menu. now it works.
Thank you!

sudo pacman -S cups cups-filters cups-pdf system-config-printer --needed
sudo systemctl enable --now org.cups.cupsd.socket
plus your brother driver from AUR should be good to go if it is connected via USB

do you choose offline install on installing the OS?
we have the option to choose printing support only for online install method.
And yes i do install brother wifi printer currently and i do not need any extra to connect it like you.

Thats an interesting point! Yes, i choose the offline install. It is possible, that i choose online install in the other PCs, so there i did not had this problem.
