I don't know much about this, I just did a
diff /var/db/pkg/app-office/libreoffice-3.4.3.2-r1/libreoffice-3.4.3.2-r1.ebuild /usr/portage/app-office/libreoffice/libreoffice-3.4.3.2-r1.ebuild.
The IUSE line no longer has cups, the dependency of net-print/cups is
mandatory, and --enable-cups is always given as configure option. Yes,
this means you will need cups. I don't know if you somehow could
still print when it is not configured.

Printing is one thing that just seems to work much better on Windows. This
is becoming better, it looks like the LibreOffice and Firefox print
dialogs allow to set print features like the resolution. But other
applications, like Konqueror, do not have this option, so I have multiple
printers configured in order to select the resolution. BTW, how is
your situation with lprng now, can you change the resolution in Firefox'
print dialog?
I never liked CUPS, but then, at least there is some interface
to configure its options. I don't do much printing anyway, so I can live
with that. Well, seems I have to.
