I don’t think the printers appear in the KDE settings.
Do a search for Print Settings and set up your printer there.

Also don’t use inxi -Faz but use garuda-inxi

pls..bios update

if cups is installed + service active and printer connected over network (lan or wlan): open in your browser http://localhost:631/
klick inside the tab:

  • install also system-config-printer if not installed.
  • for plasma (old style inside systemsettings) install print-manager
