I don’t know of anything specifically, just my experience with printers on linux is they either work pretty effortlessly or they’re awful and don’t seem to work correctly no matter what you do.

I’ve had some pretty great experience with my Brother multifunction printer / scanner on my Ubuntu server, but never played with Arch.

Best part about Brother’s scanner driver is that it literally just runs a shell script you can modify. I have it set up such that I can scan to PDF from the printer & it will programmatically drop it into my samba share, despite the fact that my printer is not expensive enough to come with the “scan to nas” feature in firmware.
