Something is wrong.

What I have:
cat /etc/make.conf
<snip>

LAYMAN
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
source /var/lib/layman/make.conf

SO should this  be (?):
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman"


cat /var/lib/layman/make.conf:
##PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="$PORTDIR_OVERLAY"


Here is what I get:

# layman -a printer-drivers
* Failed to add overlay "printer-drivers".
* Error was: Overlay "printer-drivers" already in the local list!


# ls /var/lib/layman/      
cache_ac494f50f5736be7871962c0dec7b3bb.xml  make.conf.old.layman  
printer-drivers  make.conf  overlays.xml          zugaina


ls -R /usr/local/portage/net-print

brother-mfc6490cw-cups  brother-mfc6490cw-lpr

./brother-mfc6490cw-cups:
Manifest  brother-mfc6490cw-cups-1.1.2_p2.ebuild

./brother-mfc6490cw-lpr:
brother-mfc6490cw-lpr-1.1.2_p2.ebuild

# eix printer-driver
No matches found.

# emerge -pv printer-drivers
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "printer-drivers".


Obviously I've got something wrong.....(following too many guides).

Ideas?
