What is the full model number of your printer? I have a LBP-6030w and needed to use cnrdrvcups-lb as cnrdrvcups-sfp wouldn't work and cups complained about a missing file. Maybe you have a LBP-6030b (which seems to be a black housing verison that is not sold in USA)

Cups error from cnrdrvcups-sfp "File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosfp" not availale: No such file or directory"

I had a 6030b. (no longer have it)
Did u check the comments for the said package? maybe that's a known issue?

No comments mentioning it and most of the issues on google are old and not even from arch. But its a non issue as cnrdrvcups-lb works fine

Very strange.
Thanks for mentioning it.
I will modify the main gist.
