You're right. That is a *really* strange error :) Where did that 3.2.10 come
from? I can't reproduce the same error here so I can only guess. Have you
tried grepping for 3.2.10 in /var/tmp/portage/net-print/ ?
Running emerge with the -d flag can sometimes shed some light. More light than
you probably want :)

I see there is a cups USEFLAG for icedtea. Could you unset that flag for
icedtea as a workaround?
A question of my own: the ebuilds for icedtea list the cups flag as +cups.
So far I haven't discovered a man page that explains the + prefix. Is there
such a man page?
