Try 
grep -i DocumentRoot /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
If you have an entry, delete it. restart cupsd.

It appears that you have a very old cupsd.conf file. Who knows what other
cruft you have in it. The Gentoo cups ebuilds have changed a lot in the
past 18 months vis-avis where they put stuff. I would suggest that you 
move /etc/cups to somewhere safe and do 
   emerge --sync
   emerge --oneshot -uv cups
   dispatch-conf

With dispatch conf accept the *new* config files. If necessary tweak the 
new files to reflect your particular hardware/network/permissions, etc.
Do this rather than keep the old files or keep and tweak the old files.
Restart cupsd and see if it behaves better.

I suggest syncing and updating because there was a new stable ebuild 
released this weekend.

I believe that my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is vanilla as installed by the 
ebuild. It has very little in it, nothing re file location.
