Step 2: layman -d printer-drivers layman -a printer-drivers Now the printer-drivers-overlay should be installed correctly. Check if /var/lib/layman/make.conf contains: PORTDIR_OVERLAY=" /var/lib/layman/printer-drivers $PORTDIR_OVERLAY " maybe it has got other newlines or indentation, but the contents should be this. If not, though something's strange then, try edit the file manually to make it look like this. Try: emerge <ebuild-name> It should work then. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQdG/rAAoJEJwwOFaNFkYcwyUIAMMvb8MFGBaFw2H8RnYvcw2N AE+F+CqC0G7/uA05y/TN6sPQA94hqG0YiThzTx/KsenC+o5CBrCSsJnAss4lOyp3 auzuAyHS4hHCyKCEGFccqsymD0tjtEr+NnJkxpFr9KVo+Pgd0+6tmQn/z9W9NeSi JXDKpuHvKaURQy5hxha8kr6cIxzAFpCDYEKnttCBgCQzH2jLzguwFBlozWTNPa5L aZ49XdmhMliwPs9YfVEj0587qqUZyDoGw0n63r+q0KHcup6LJ+agu1FuQSdQINKX ovjpBFk+D+FV0fLD5nFjgAXOYL2PXFC9LtnVcZ4BI9K3F+Wizcd8FCQyMYk/mbw= =H312 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
