I'm starting to find the Arch user documentation isn't as helpful as it seemed when I was an Ubuntu user.
Came across this post related to network printing:
Optional advanced network setup
It is also possible to run a entire cupsd+cups-browsed instance on
your client with Avahi browsing enabled to discover unknown shared
printers in your network. This can be useful in large setups where the
server is unknown.
Note: This
behavior did not change with cups 1.6.x - the difference is that until
1.5.x cupsd was able to do printer browsing alone and now it can only
browse its own shared printers.
To get the local cupsd recognize other shared printers offered by a
remote cupsd server you need a running local cups-browsed (supported
since cups-filters 1.0.26) instance using Avahi to discover unknown
printers.
There is
good news in April 2013 (still has to be incorporated above).
Following the link to the news links you to information that isn't clear enough to be useful, or is no longer correct.
Would love to know if anyone has got a network printer up and running on Arch...
