I just installed Arch on my print server at home; it had been running another distro and chugging along happily. It's got a Brother HL2040 attached to it via USB, and I use cups to share it around the network.
Well, I got the server is up and running so I followed the instruction in the wiki[1] for installing the printer. Everything seems to have gone ok, the printer was detected and installed correctly, hooray. However, it doesn't print the test page (or anything else). When I ask it to print, the printer wakes up and starts spinning, thinks for a couple seconds, and then goes back to sleep.
Are you trying to print directly from the server, or from a remote PC on the network? Get it working locally first before worrying about anything else. Are you running a GUI on the server? If so, what does http://localhost:631/printers show for printer status?
