That is what I did, it worked. Another printer I have is hl-3170cdw and there are no drivers for it but installation via rpm is easy: Instalation instructions at: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Brother_networked_printer check if exist if not make it: mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd mkdir -p /usr/lib64/cups/filter rpm -i --nodeps hl3170cdwlpr-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm rpm -i --nodeps hl3170cdwcupswrapper-1.1.4-0.i386.rpm ln -s /usr/lib64/cups/filter/brother_lpdwrapper_hl3170cdw /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ Ps. current "rpm-4.14.2.1-r1" package is buggy (should not be used) there is a bug-filed against it. rpm-4.16.0 works OK
