Description:
system-config-printer 1.1.3-1 currently in extra installs almost anything:
$ sudo pacman -Ql system-config-printer
system-config-printer /usr/
system-config-printer /usr/lib/
system-config-printer /usr/lib/python2.6/
system-config-printer /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
system-config-printer /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cupshelpers/
system-config-printer /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cupshelpers/__init__.py
system-config-printer /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cupshelpers/cupshelpers.py
system-config-printer /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cupshelpers/openprinting.py
system-config-printer /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cupshelpers/ppds.py
system-config-printer /usr/share/
system-config-printer /usr/share/system-config-printer/
system-config-printer /usr/share/system-config-printer/config.py
system-config-printer /usr/share/system-config-printer/debug.py
system-config-printer /usr/share/system-config-printer/smburi.py

It should install at least some files in /usr/bin (main app interface) and the launcher System->Administration->Printing.
By reviewing the PKGBUILD, maybe a 'make install' is missing...

I modified the PKGBUILD like this: http://pastebin.com/f3de25349. Notice also the added 'python-notify' dependency which is currently in community.
Building and installing this PKGBUILD, the resulting package will contain:
http://pastebin.com/f402427ef

Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo pacman -Sy system-config-printer
$ sudo pacman -Ql system-config-printer
compare the file list with the one above
This task depends upon

system-config-printer is a splitted package.
we need that for people who use KDE. we have system-config-printer-gnome in [community] who provide the GUI for it.

I see, thanks. Shouldn't then system-config-printer-gnome be in extra as well?
