Most likely than not that is because your programs are
not compiled with printing support? 

~ $ euse -i cups
global use flags (searching: cups)

Judging by the fact that you installed cups by hand and portage didn't
want to install its own version of cups, I'd say more likely than not
you have the cups flag disabled. 

What you can try to do (if you don't want to use the in portage cups
ebuild) is to 

  (a) enable the cups flag
  (b) edit the /etc/portage/profile/package.provided file to include
      cups. 
  (See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=5 )

This may or may not work, but is worth a try if you insist on not
using the standard ebuild.
