I followed this guide to set up printing:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml

but it didn't start working until I emerged foomatic.  The guide
doesn't mention foomatic whatsoever.  My printer is a Brother HL-2040
laser.

Maybe file a bug against docs?

The latest cups ebuild will force you to install some sort of drivers, 
defaulting to foomatic, on USE=ppds.

Thanks,
