Hi there, welcome to the forum.
You left the template text but it looks like you didn’t read it :wink:

For example, have you tried as suggested by the error message to (re)run hp-plug-in as normal user or visit that page? Probably there you’ll be able to download and re-install hplip, but the Arch version is updated, so, more than that, you could download and install the plug-in (see link below).
There are also many hits on an internet search for that error message.
It looks like an old error, probably with no strightforward solution, but you could give a look.
Only for example, check this one.

The first link to download hplip is not working anymore, but you can get it somehow for sure, but the link to the plung-in seems to be working:

Last but not least, you could try installing and enabling cups, like here:
