I finally figured out, why the openprinting driver I usually use for my Brother HL 2140 doesn't work on Arch Linux

foomatic still relies on hpijs. Yes, I know it's deprecated for quite some time. But it's still used by some third-party drivers.

Adding --enable-hpijs-install to configure in the hplip PKGBUILD fixes my problem

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Feel free to use a local custom build if you rely on the deprecated build option. Or better use some of the alternative drivers recommended in the link.
