Setting up printers is often and adventure under linux. |

Sometimes googling (searching) and reading is your |
| 14 |
best bet to figure out how to install the brother printer |
| 15 |
under linux. |

For example, are you going to hack /etc/ |
| 19 |
(printcap) directly or use an software |
| 20 |
package such as CUPS and hack the brother |
| 21 |
support into CUPS? <google is your friend>. |

I have a (brand new) brother MFC-6710DW, but I'm going |
| 30 |
to figure out how to make it work via the ethernet |
| 31 |
port. Since you are using the usb port, include that |
| 32 |
factoid in your google searches. I keep getting |
| 33 |
"diverted" from working on this new install, but, |
| 34 |
when I'm done, I'll share the info on a wiki or |
| 35 |
on bugs.gentoo.org. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
If you document your efforts and then post them to |
| 38 |
bugs.gentoo.org |
| 39 |
you can get some more accurate documentation started |
| 40 |
for gentoo specific installations. |
