Avahi scans for wifi printers & provides local hostname resolution using nss-mdns package.

Enable it as follows:

Install nss-mdns

Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the hosts: line to include the following (inserted right before resolve and dns):

mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]

Add user to sys

sudo usermod -a -G sys [username]

This could be added if user select printer support, and it will make it possible to add also network printers by default.

I have to set this up, as above, manually every time I install Antergos even though I choose printer support in cnchi. My printer is Canon Pixma TS3100 but I don't think any wifi printers will work without the above changes.
