{{note| All the necessary printer software will be pre-installed in the full versions of Manjaro 0.8.0 to 0.8.2.

If you find that you are unable to print, then it may be necessary to enable '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS CUPS]''' (previously an acronym for '''C'''ommon '''U'''nix '''P'''rinting '''S'''ystem). This is a popular open source printing system used in most Linux distributions due to its ease of use. As stated by Wikipedia:

:<blockquote>'' 'CUPS consists of a print spooler and scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data to a format that the printer will understand, and a backend system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing print jobs and queues.'' '</blockquote>

~~= Enabling CUPS =~~

~~All commands listed below require that you first open your terminal.~~

~~'''To permanently enable CUPS''', input the command:~~

~~sudo systemctl enable cups.service~~

~~'''Once enabled, to start using CUPS immediately without rebooting''', input the command:~~

~~sudo sudo systemctl start cups.service~~

~~'''Otherwise, to temporarily enable CUPS for a single session''', input the command:~~

~~sudo cupsd~~
