I love Garuda. It looks good and works well too.
I installed it today and got most everything working. I love how it is organized.
It is very user-friendly, however, the last stage of my setup today is installing my Brother MFC-J825DW printer and here I have hit a roadblock.
Brother only supplies .deb or RPM packages for the drivers.
Is there any way I can install this printer?
I have used other distros that work with those packages, but this is the first distro that I ventured to install that uses Pacman.
If I can't install the printer then I will have to use Garuda as an occasional system whereas if I got it going it would be my 1st choice

I was having trouble with my Brother printer. I tried what was mentioned in the forum, and it was still broken.
in the terminal i ran;
cupsd
somehow that activated the cups server and i was able to connect.

If no options are specified on the command-line then the default configuration file
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
will be used.
cups service was renamed from
org.cups.cupsd
To simply cups
In the new. Version of cups package
You need to reenable it
systemctl enable cups.socket

Thanks.
I used the command as you instructed then I unlocked the Printer settings and was able to add the printer. It was found and I just had to configure it with the IP address and I am good to go.
Thanks again.
Garuda is still looking good
