Im not 100% sure if KDE will work whit out hall, but KDE doesent use hal 
directly instead it uses the Solid framework of KDE. Solid isint dependant of 
one spesific bacend, but its like phonon so you can have multiple differend 
back 
ends whit it. i do not have any Idea of the state of differend backebnd, mayby 
some one whit more knowelege could provide additional information.

 Guys,
 
   I'm laughing at myself for being unable to get swap activated. 
 Initially,
 when I breezed through the install, I forgot to set /dev/sdb6 to type 82
 so the box came up with swap off (2G of ram so not much of an issue)
 
   But now, I want to activate it and I get an error activating swap that
 frankly, I have never seen before:
 
 [11:27 dcrgx2:~] # swapon -a
 swapon: /dev/sdb6: read swap header failed: Invalid argument
 
 Huh?
 
   Here are the current details of the install:

   It looks to me like swap should activate. What am I missing? Thanks for
 any insight you can lend here.

you have to create the swap filesystem in to the partion by running mkswap 
/dev/sdb6

 I would like to get my Canon MP630 (all in one) printer working under
 Arch, I only need the printing abilities though.
 I have installed the following packages and read the Arch wiki CUPS
 article along with many other websites:
 cnijfilter-common 3.00-3
 hal-cups-utils
 cups-canon
 cups
 libcups
 
 I've tried adding the printer with the following URI's:
 cnijusb:/dev/usb/lp2
 hal:///org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4a9_172e_30AFBE_if1_printer_n
 oserial
 
 I've been unable to get it to print a test page.
 
 Thanks!

I had problems whit a cannoc printer too, check if you have 2 devices listed 
in cups, as for me the other one didn't work but the pother did. Sorry its 
been while sinse i intsleed it so I can't remeber propely
