Are your using HP printers, and if so, have you recently switched from using hpoj+hpijs to using the newer hplip package which is supposed to replace the old combination? If this is the case, we're having the same problem, which seems to be with hplip-0.9.7-r3. I haven't found a solution to the problem yet. According to the doc, you *must* have ppds in your USE flags for hplip to allow it to generate the .ppd files. FWIW, here are my USE flags for cups and hplip: net-print/cups-1.1.23-r7 -gnutls +nls +pam +samba +slp +ssl net-print/hplip-0.9.7-r3 +X +cups +foomaticdb +ppds +qt +scanner +snmp +usb hpijs blocks hplip, and I believe that (unfortunately) hpoj is now hard-masked, so it will be difficult to fall back to using the old (working) hpoj ptal interface.
