It should contain a driver for your printer series.

Non of the drivers in net-print/brlaser works with my printer. Will try to figure out this weekend why the closed source driver works on Debian and Fedora but not on Gentoo.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations.

I finally purchased a Brother HL-L2464DW Printer/Scanner/Copier. Makes nice Copies. Can't get it to print from Gentoo. Works OK from Debian.
