52 Ok - you're trying two different approaches at the same time. I'd
53 recommend you to just use the printer-drivers overlay.
54
55 Normally layman should take care of the contents of
56 /var/lib/layman/make.conf. Maybe it doesn#t work because you created
57 an empty one. You could try to simply delete it and afterwards rerun
58 layman -a printer-drivers. If that doesn't solve your problem,
59 recreate the file with the following content:
60
61 PORTDIR_OVERLAY="
62 $PORTDIR_OVERLAY
63 "
64
65 Afterwards try layman -a printer-drivers again.
