Net-print/brother-dcp9020cdw-bin in brother-overlay Thanks to i92guboj for discovering this and posting it on the Gentoo Forums. Scanner only works after emerging dev-libs/libusb-compat. Once done, re-modify the printer through CUPS, and printing should work. Then, just for safe measure, copy and paste (or symlink) the contents of /usr/libexec/cups/filters/ to /usr/lib64/cups/filter/. Copy and paste that manually to /usr/libexec/cups/filter/brldpwrapperdcpj140w. Inside that script is a 'cat' command that creates brlpdwrapperdcpj140w. Then, after you gunzip and tar -xf the file, find the cupswrapperdcpj140w file. To get this file, first download the DCP-J140W driver source code from the Brother webpage (the same page that also provides the driver scripts). The Brother printer installer script may not properly create /usr/libexec/cups/filters/brlpdwrapperdcpj140w.

When it asks for DeviceURI, if you have a networked printer, you may have to specify the specific IP address of the printer. Run via # sh linux-brprinter-installer- DCP-J140W Please use Brother's Driver Install Tool to install printer and scanner functionality.
