I'm not sure what the tryprint.pl is, perhaps a redhat specific
mechanism.  If your Gentoo system has the "cups" use flag then you'll
probably have the `gnome-cups-manager` installed.  This is the easiest
way I know to configure a printer.  Run this program from the command
line, you'll see a GUI tool which is fairly intuitive for adding a new
printer.

As far as docs, I'm not sure.  Maybe someone else knows.

Good luck!
