Ok - you're trying two different approaches at the same time. I'd recommend you to just use the printer-drivers overlay. Normally layman should take care of the contents of /var/lib/layman/make.conf. Maybe it doesn#t work because you created an empty one. You could try to simply delete it and afterwards rerun layman -a printer-drivers. If that doesn't solve your problem, recreate the file with the following content: PORTDIR_OVERLAY=" $PORTDIR_OVERLAY " Afterwards try layman -a printer-drivers again.
