Setting up printers is often and adventure under linux.

Sometimes googling (searching) and reading is your
best bet to figure out how to install the brother printer
under linux.
For example, are you going to hack /etc/
(printcap) directly or use an software
package such as CUPS and hack the brother
support into CUPS? <google is your friend>.

I just found this.

I have a (brand new) brother MFC-6710DW, but I'm going
to figure out how to make it work via the ethernet
port. Since you are using the usb port, include that
factoid in your google searches. I keep getting
"diverted" from working on this new install, but,
when I'm done, I'll share the info on a wiki or
on bugs.gentoo.org.
If you document your efforts and then post them to
bugs.gentoo.org
you can get some more accurate documentation started
for gentoo specific installations.
Oh, I just found this:
