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

I get the following error:

Done.

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.

Printer on ARCH

[Michael via PLUG-discuss]

I ran the configuration for the printer and it can not find the ppd file. I
searched the web for it so I could point to it but there was no luck...
unless the ppd file is hplip. If that is the case something is wrong with
it. Where is it located so I can tell ARCH where it is?

printer on arch

[Michael via PLUG-discuss]

I installed Arch recently and am lost on setting up the printer (hp envy
photo 7855). the printer wiki says that the page needs to be updated. Could
someone help?
I installed hplip (and that installed cups and other stuff) and I installed
usbutils to get lsusb. I was having difficulties getting lsusb to detect
the printer... until I discovered it doesn't really plug-n-play. The
printer needs to be plugged in from power-on.
