Yep know doubts, I looked at too many different wiki and other googled
resources. I could not find a simple here are the steps to installing
"printer" overlays, compiling them, making the config changes and
then testing via CUPS.

OK, I'll the print drivers  first.

#layman -l 
* printer-drivers           [Git       ]
(git://git.o.g.o/proj/printer-drivers.git           )
* zugaina                   [Rsync     ]
(rsync://gentoo.zugaina.org/zugaina-portage         )

OK it's installed. I would think emerging it is next?
But that does not seem to work with emerge?
