Installing the printer driver for the Brother QL-1110NWB on Gentoo Linux can be a bit tricky, but thanks to a helpful ebuild written by James Cherti, the process becomes a breeze. The ebuild automates the whole process of downloading and installing the appropriate driver for the Brother QL-1110NWB on Gentoo Linux.
