For example, are you going to hack /etc/ (printcap) directly or use an software package such as CUPS and hack the brother support into CUPS? <google is your friend>. > I use the handbook for usb and usb printer. I just found this. http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Brother_Printer/Scanners I have a (brand new) brother MFC-6710DW, but I'm going to figure out how to make it work via the ethernet port. Since you are using the usb port, include that factoid in your google searches. I keep getting "diverted" from working on this new install, but, when I'm done, I'll share the info on a wiki or on bugs.gentoo.org. If you document your efforts and then post them to bugs.gentoo.org you can get some more accurate documentation started for gentoo specific installations. Oh, I just found this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-932120-start-0.html <search_string: how to install a brother usb printer on gentoo> hth, James
