Since there is not (hplip) package for Brother, I trying to use Layman to first add an existing Overlay and then set up the printer via Cups (localhost:631). Amazingly, I found an overlay that looks to be for a brother printer that is identical to mine, except it down not have the memory stick slot (brother mfc6490cw). Here it is on zugaina (Successfully synchronized overlay "zugaina") http://gpo.zugaina.org/Overlays/printer-drivers/ net-print/brother-mfc6490cw-cups I thought once that layman is setup you could just update the tree_list of packages (which I did) and then just use emerge to install from a give Overlay repository? (Yes, I modifies the /etc/make.conf #LAYMAN PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" source /var/lib/layman/make.conf (but this layman make.conf file is still empty) So, I get this error: # layman -f -a net-print/brother-mfc6490cw-cups-1.1.2_p2 Overlay "net-print/brother-mfc6490cw-cups-1.1.2_p2" does not exist. (I also tried the name "net-print/brother-mfc6490cw-cups" to no avail) Next, I've manually downloaded the ebuild to: /usr/local/portage/net-print/brother-mfc6490cw-cups/ PROBLEM ------- But I cannot use emerge to install it. # emerge brother-mfc6490cw-cups Calculating dependencies / * Manifest not found for '/usr/local/portage/net-print/brother-mfc6490cw-cups/ brother-mfc6490cw-cups-1.1.2_p2.ebuild' So now I need to hack the manifest and other files into this dir? Any discussion, ideas, syntax or ebuild support files (manifest et. al) are most welcome (Neil?) Note: it's been a while since I've used the laymen scripts et. al. so it's entirely possible I missed (fudged_up) the steps I gleaned from the myriad of wikis to do this install. rusty on Overlays, James
