5 All right. I've never had to do so before, but I have now. I've also set
6 USE=zeroconf on /net-print/cups and remerged it. Both cupsd and cups-browsed
7 are in the default run level. I've even tried connecting via USB-2; when I
8 plug it in I get this in syslog:

16 That all looks okay to me, no? But still cups can't see the printer.

18 I found a way, eventually. I had to declare the printer manually, under Add
19 Printer. I chose ipp and gave it the URL ipp://<ip-addr>/ipp/print. It was
20 found instantly and I could set the paper size. But when I print an Amazon
21 return label with Firefox, I get just the text with a blank, framed box where
22 the QR and bar codes should be.
23
24 Google-chrome printed it though.

26 Emerge -pv firefox returned this:

32 Am I missing something important from that?
