Evince does not itself search for printers. It uses Gtk APIs for the
print dialog.

Sorry, but I don't know how Gtk finds printers.

That's OK.  Thanks anyway, and nevermind.

I've since found out that I was just botching my attempts to add my
printer via the fancy-schmancy cupsd web admin interface.  I am still
working through that problem, but at least now I have a much better
clue about where the real problem(s) is/are.

(CUPS apparently has all of the info it needs in order to support many
Brother[tm] brand printers, right out of the box.  Mine, alas, is not
among this set.)
