Emerge takes note of settings there when it is about to build packages. If you install a package by hand, outside portage, it won't likely matter. I might add this for future reference. Before buying equipment, make sure it works with Linux, the distro you use for sure. Some brands work pretty easy but has some models that don't. HP for example generally works however, I've seen certain models that have something unique about them that causes them to not work at all or only certain limited functions. In my experience Lexmark is one that I have never got to work, any model. I avoid Lexmark like it's a disease. Scanners are in the same boat as printers, since some have both built in. I've seen on this list where some seem to have got Brother to work. Maybe a search of past threads would shed some light. They might have some tiny snippet that helps get you on the road to success.
