Yes, thanks, I just didn't pay attention to the socket and path old units.

Notice I restarted it several times after some intermediate trials... if I run cupsd directly: % sudo cupsd cupsd: Child exited with status 1 Which is even more weird to me. cups named packages installed: % pacman -Qs cups local/cups 2.0.0-2 The CUPS Printing System - daemon package local/cups-filters 1.0.61-2 OpenPrinting CUPS Filters local/cups-pdf 2.6.1-2 PDF printer for cups local/lib32-libcups 1.7.5-1 The CUPS Printing System - client libraries (32-bit) local/libcups 2.0.0-2 The CUPS Printing System - client libraries and headers I tried re-installing cups and libcups with no sucees (just in case)...
