On archlinux the network printer doesn't work

It fails with a suggestion to run "/usr/bin/cups-genppdupdate"
start or at least check cups service
Via http://localhost:631/printers/ (root) choose "Printers > Brother_HL-2250DN_series > Administration > Modify Printer" and when the model dialog page comes just use the uptodate version i. e. "Brother HL-2250DN - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.4 (en)" and click "Modify Printer".
