I think the devil in this deal could be samba depending on CUPS, with
cups restorting to gimp-print for drivers that i doesn't support
internally..

But, could you please check this a bit further?  Full output of emerge
-pu world, then  iterate through the list with emerge -puv for each
Update package until you have the one that is pulling in the printer
applications?

Usually such changes come in because an upstream package moves from one
library-version to another, in the recent Grip case where people kept
whining they moved the dependencies from gnome-libs-1.4 to libgnome,
ORBit2 instead of ORBit ..   

The reason people kept seein "more packages" was that gnome-libs has
been torn apart into at least 4 different packages to further separate
the code.
