just decided to try and set up my Epson XP 225 printer on Manjaro after months of using printing services as I was too lazy to set it up. I installed the Epson driver from the AUR, and it installed smoothly. With some searching around I managed to add my printer (I am using it over USB, can't be bothered with wifi or Bluetooth setups) and managed to use the online localhost tool manual to enable my printer. I used to get these errors:
==> /var/log/cups/error_log <==

After some small adjustments (changing DefaultAuthType to None and installing the aforementioned drivers), this is the only errors I am left with:

When I try to print something, the job says 'processing' and it doesn't go through.
lpstat -l gives:

This is quite frustrating, its such a useless error to me. I haven't been able to find anything I can do to fix this final message either. I hope someone here can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
