Printer on ARCH

[Michael]

Thanks! Unfortunately my printer did not appear.
[bmike1 at HavensARCH ~]$ sudo find / -type f -iname "*.ppd"

I get the following error:

Done.
lpr: Error - The printer or class does not exist.

Done.

I run pacman -S hplip and it says it installs to version hplip-1:3.21.8-1
but I still get the same error.
