Rename to brother-hl6200dw-bin-1.1.2-r1.ebuild. Change the parts of SRC_URI to match the download URI used to download the driver(s) from the Brother website. Change instances of "hll8350cdw" to "hll6200dw".

13 This is a good idea. I've the files (modified them): brother-hl6200dw-bin-1.1.2-r1.ebuild and metadata.xml

15 My only question is which directory to put them in? I think:
16 /usr/local/portage/(something)
