The icon is the one usb mass storage devices.
It is a multifunction device. I downloaded and installed the ppd (in 
this case the MFC210) proberly. I tried it via localhost:631 - no success.
The system (which ever) does not allow device URIs like "/dev/usb/lp0" - 
(which I use under FC4 and also OpenrSuSE - and which work fine) - it 
generates entrees like "Brother_MFC-215C_USB_1" or 
"hal://org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_4f9_193_BROD6F615210_if0_printer_noserial".
