umm, just to give my two cents, but what if you just added the ppd
file from the debian machine to your archlinux box? cups config isn't
that much of a hurdle for people who want to look deeper into stuff
like that.

Even sharing printers wouuld be possible, so that you could just hook
up the debian box as your intermediate printing instance, because cups
has proven pretty reliable on this kinda stuff. (I share my oki
printer to a variety of OSes in my home config)
