[gentoo-user] How to add a USB printer to CUPS if CUPS doesn't see it

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

on a up-to-date GenToo installation I tried to get CUPS to recognize a  
Brother DCP1510 printer.
lsusb and lshw do show the printer but CUPS (http::/localhost:631)  
doesn't show the printer (as local printer).

Has anybody experienced a similar problem or has anybody a suggestion  
what to try next?

Many thanks for your help,
Helmut.
