Regex needed

I have a log file where the last portion of the events look like:

Printer driver: (Lexmark T520)

Where the portion in parens will change but it will always look like that.

If I guess right that you want to extract the portion in (), what about

perldoc perlrequick
perldoc perlretut
perldoc perlre

and

my $line = 'Text at beginning of line Printer driver: (Lexmark T520)';
my ($printer)=$line=~/$(.*)$\s*$/o;
print 'Portion in (): ', $printer;
