I had to set up printer and scanning on EndevourOS. This should be for all arch distros. This note describes the steps that I followed. I have an HP Deskjet Printer and scanner.
The hplip package is all that is needed to set up printing using a HP
printer. It has a couple perl and python dependencies, along with a dependency
on a package called cups that I had to add separately
yay -S cups hplip
sudo systemctl enable --now cups
After this I used the interactive setup utility, with my printer attached on a USB port.
sudo hp-setup -i
An optional GUI for managing printers can also be installed
yay -S system-config-printer
ℹ️ This seems to be a python script
After this the Printer was available for printing.
The hplip package contains the hp-scan tool, but a few python dependencies
were missing.
Installing these python packages fixed the issues.
yay -S xsane python-pillow python-reportlab
After this, the scanned documents can be saved as pdf using something like this:
hp-scan -i -oBill-1.pdf --dest=pdf
