Worth noting that garuda won’t load with printer plugged in, and upon plugging in dmesg returns:
[ 130.035132] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd
[ 135.547744] usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -110
hmm.. over cups webinterface or plasma settings ?
Also konsole then system-config-printer
Konsole sudo dmesg
I think the issue is something about pc not discovering the printer
And quick lookup over device descriptor read/64, error -110 returns that it’s an error that can sometimes be fixed by disarming electricity in the system, which i did in the morning which made my printer work exactly once. I guess i should get a new cable?.. Because the specifics of why it happens are vague.
Here’s uncontinuous dmesg logs on what seems to be related from another successful attempt i did just now, the printer shortly disconnected though

Your BIOS is quite old. I would highly recommend to update to the latest version
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-B550-GAMING-PLUS/support#bios
Sometimes updates don’t play nice with very outdated BIOS versions. Also I’ve noticed one version you are missing out on mentions “Improved USB device compatibility” , so it might have a chance to fix some of your issues, mainly this one as it can be a BIOS related issue:
(Note: You are missing out on very important security fixes and it is very much worth updating the BIOS anyways.)

Correct.
The printer is not recognized as a USB device at hardware level. Either there is a problem with the corresponding USB port`s on the computer side or on the printer side, or the USB cable or the printer is defective.
And you should also consider this suggestion:

Been a few days since last post, update:
I did a wrong format of BIOS thing (was supposed to put them into root folder) and learned MSI coded BIOS in a way launching flash mode and choosing nothing may put it into mode that can only be reset via battery removal
Got a new cable, fixed BIOS, flashed BIOS, learned that the windows OS on my pc has no troubles with locating printer over old cable. Trying garuda with updated bios & changed cable however still gives me an issue of hp device manager saying it can’t locate hp device and dmesg claiming something went wrong with connection. I may have done pacman -Syu at some point though, which may be the reason the messages in dmesg changed
dmesg (new cable, new BIOS):
[ 3912.353067] usb usb1-port3: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
[ 3913.305076] usb usb1-port3: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

That’s not correct, use garuda-update and if you have aur packages installed use garuda-update --a. Or short upd and upd -a.
Do you have the printer connected on the case or motherboard ?
Your printer → 2.0 high speed.
Try another port and then ?

If it still doesn’t work on Linux but does on windows, then it shouldn’t be a hardware or BIOS issue.
What comes to my mind is the USB power management. Possibly the printer has a problem with USB power saving / USB auto-suspend. This is normally handled by the kernel, possibly the actual cause is a previous kernel update. Have you tried a different kernel, for example linux-lts?
Another possibility would be to disable the USB auto-suspend via udev rules - have a look at the ArchWiki, it’s there somewhere.

just tried connecting to motherboard port instead of case one, dmesg is different, hp device manager still can’t see it though:

Thank you, will figure it out later. Where can i see good resources on kernel swapping for garuda?
Over pacseek, oktopi, garuda settings manager → kernel or rani
To look i prefer oktopi but for kernels i use garuda settings manager → kernel.
To install use sudo pacman -S package
Matisse CPU = Zen 2 (gen3)
example:
sudo packman -S linux-znver2 linux-znver2-headers
Current on your system is kernel 6.14 zen installed, for me, a little bit faulty kernel.
Over garuda-update is updated then to kernel 6.15.
Perhaps then your printer is function.
