Printer setup questions (drivers)

Hello all,

I would like to set up a network printer via cus. It is a Brother model HL-2070N and it works great under Debian using the same driver as the one for the HL-2060.

My question is where are all the drivers? When I go to set up the printer under Debian I see hundreds and hundreds of makes and models --- not so much under Arch. Not one driver for the GNU/Linux friendly Brother printers.

I thought I installed all relevant packages, but apparently not.

Thanks.

---

Regards, Joe
